Just about ready to pull the last remaining hairs on my head. All I want is a black background with light text in my xterms. The only way I can get it is by putting 'xterm -bg black -fg grey90' in ~/.fluxbox/menu.

my .Xresources:
xterm*background: rgb:00/12/18
xterm*foreground: whitesmoke
XTerm*faceName: Bitstream Vera Sans Mono
XTerm*faceSize: 10

Thank you David and Uli for your merciful responses. And thanks to all of you blfs-hardcores for your merciful non-responses. :-)

I whined about reading man pages all morning and not being able to solve my situation. This is a prime example of RTFB. From Chapter 25 of "The Book"

In order to load your resources, the *xrdb* program must be called with the appropriate parameters. Typically, the first time resources are loaded, you use:

xrdb -load <filename>

To add resources to X's database in memory, use:

xrdb -merge <filename>

The *xrdb* instruction is usually placed in ~/.xinitrc or ~/.xsession. To get more information, see the *xrdb* man page.


You may ban me from the list.  Didn't read the most obvious source!
