fluxbox: overriding style background color
I'm running Twice window style under fluxbox. I want to change its default background color from gray to black. I can make the background black with the command fbsetroot -solid black, but it does not persist. When fluxbox is restarted, it reverts to grey. I tried putting fbsetroot |-foreground rgb:db/dc/83 -solid rgb:db/bc/83|style|:0.0 into the last wallpaper file, but when fluxbox is rstarted it reverts to the old gray color.

Re: xterm background color
For me, I simply add the paramters to the properties: xterm -fg white -bg black I think vim takes after the xterm so I guess if xterm has the black background then vim should do likewise. However, if you are referrring to gvim, refer to the manual or to the vim website: www.vim.org. You have to update your ~/.gvimrc file.

can't read dselect due to background color in xterm window
When I bring up dselect in an xterm window under X+Gnome+windowmaker, the black background color in the Select portion of dselect make the text nearly illegible. The colors work fine in a non-X terminal setting, but what can I do to make dselect usable in xterm? Or am I the only one with this problem? Do most of you use dpkg directly and not use dselect? (I think dselect is one the most amazingly useful pieces of software I've seen.) I found a short thread from last May in the debian-user archives at Geocrawler which suggested that apps like dselect control the colors used in xterm, and I don't find any other useful info in man pages for dselect or xterm. TIA for any ideas! Stan

If you have xterm set to not use those colors, your dselect experience will be less than good. So, easy fix place the following in .Xdefaults and .Xresources: XTerm*foreground: white XTerm*background: black hope this helps.

Thanx Cuno Look at the files in /etc/X11/xdm/, especially 'Xreset' and 'Xsetup'. You can add e.g. xsetroot -solid aquamarine to one or both. Try experimenting; I did this a while ago on another machine and I don't remember the exact setup I ended up with. miket
background color in XEmacs 2.0
Hi all. I liked the text background color better the way it was set before, on grey. I don't like the new white block as much However I can't find out how to change it. I've looked through all the settings and all the config files, but there's just too much.

You can do it in your .Xresources file. Something like emacs.foreground: white emacs.background: Blue4 emacs.pointerColor: Red emacs.cursorColor: Red However, it may be a little different for xemacs as the widgets may have different names (emacs version 20 is emacs20.background for instance). Start xprop up and point it at the xemacs session to give the proper widget name. See xprop(1) for details. PS. I apologize if I used the incorrect terms above (widget, class, name?) but the idea is there.

You can do it in your .Xresources file. Something like emacs.foreground: white emacs.background: Blue4 emacs.pointerColor: Red emacs.cursorColor: Red I ended up going to the XEmacs manual page, which led me to the .Xdefaults file containing every default settable attribute inside XEmacs. However, there is not an attribute to change this. I do not mean that I am unable to change the background color -- this is quite easily accomplished. What I mean is the color surrounding text. A block around every text character is filled with white. When the cursor is placed in that spot, it interrupts the continuity of the white, and grey shows through. This is quite confusing to cope with. Perhaps this is a bug? It seemed to happen after I removed emacs and left xemacs. I have included a screenshot Look at it, this is quite annoying. Well, nevermind, xv will not grab xemacs' window.
