Rxvt has a different > class name so you'll either want to dup your setting lines and Change the I should have mentioned that I did that already. Did a strings xrdb and discovered that the only one starting with a captial letter was Rxvt. So I tried: *Rxvt*color0: black *Rxvt*color1: #ffff99999999 *Rxvt*color2: #9999ffff9999 *Rxvt*color3: #ffffffff9999 *Rxvt*color4: #99999999ffff *Rxvt*color5: #ffff9999ffff *Rxvt*color6: #9999ffffffff *Rxvt*color7: #ffffffffffff (I also tried - guessing wildly - RXvt as in VT100 - never understood the magic with these first two CApitals). no avail. > XTerm to Rxvt in the duped copy (don't forget to "xrdb -load ~/.Xdefaults" Did that explicitly, started a new rxvt and colors are unchanged. I start to believe that rxvt doesn't allow for this - OTOH I could UTSL. > or just exit X and restart it), or put these in separate app-resource files > off your XAPPLRESDIR or XUSERFILESEARCHPATH (named XTerm [or Color_xterm] > and Rxvt). > > Randall Hopper > -- Chris Christoph P.
