| + | ====== Change xterm to White on Black ====== | ||
| + | You can change colors and fonts in xterm using the .Xdefaults config file in your home directory. First, open the file. | ||
| + | |||
| + | vi ~/.Xdefaults | ||
| + | |||
| + | Next, insert the following lines. | ||
| + | |||
| + | xterm*foreground: #FFFFFF | ||
| + | xterm*background: #000000 | ||
| + | xterm*faceName: Terminus:pixelsize=14 | ||
| + | |||
| + | Finally, refresh the settings with the following command. | ||
| + | |||
| + | xrdb ~/.Xdefaults | ||
| + | |||
| + | That's it. You're now using white on black with the "Terminus" font at 14 points. | ||
| + | |||
| + | More settings are available in the [[http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xdefaults_%28English%29#xterm_preferences|Arch Linux Wiki]]. | ||
