Xterm's configuration is through X resources. The defaults are set in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/XTerm (actually: in a unicode environment you better use 'uxterm', which has the config file UXTerm) . If you want per-use settings, you should either copy that XTerm file to your home directory, or use the general-purpose X resources file (normally ~/.Xresources, but sometimes it is ~/.Xdefaults) . There you should prefi them 'xterm' In this specific case I figure you need to either: in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-detfaults/XTerm replace *VT100*colorMode: on *VT100*boldColors: on *VT100*dynamicColors: on with: *VT100*colorMode: off *VT100*boldColors: off *VT100*dynamicColors: off Or put the following in your ~/.xresources : XTerm*VT100*colorMode: off XTerm*VT100*boldColors: off XTerm*VT100*dynamicColors: off And probably: UXTerm*VT100*colorMode: off UXTerm*VT100*boldColors: off UXTerm*VT100*dynamicColors: off And then run 'xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources' or restart the X session. -- Tzafrir Cohen +---------------------------+ http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir/ |vim is a mutt's best friend| mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] +---------------------------+ ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
