Title: xterm background color question
Post by: bengt_t 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.

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