xterm background color question
« on: May 05, 2012, 02:00:12 PM »
During opening an xterm window with the command "xterm -bg red&" I can notice that the new window is opened with a red background which is immediately reset back to black. I am probably foreseeing some basic configuration and wish to get a hint on where and how to make my background color selection to work...

The options in .Xdefaults may interfere. Try turning transparency off there.
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

Many thanks! "xterm +tr -bg red" helped.
