When i restart my Mac, XQuartz comes with a black window and pale yellow (Wheat) foreground. But if I need to restart XQuartz directly, it becomes white and black foreground. Since I usually open a number of widows and I disabled the shortcuts with CMD, I have several aliases to open them where I change the fontsize like the following one:
alias xterm10 xterm -sb -fg Wheat -bg black -cr green -ms red -fa Monaco -fs 10& My first window, whether white or black will therefore open other windows in black background by typing xterm10 or xterm7, etc. - Laurent > Le 5 févr. 2020 à 21:42, Don MacQueen via X11-users > <[email protected]> a écrit : > > And if worse comes to worst, and you start your xterms using the command key > shortcut provided by XQuartz, you could edit that command to use command line > arguments to set the geometry and background color.
