Three solutions: 1) decide that the default xterm isn't so ugly after all. 2) Modify Xresources to make the xterm that appears with "xterm" be what you want; putting the following into ~/.Xresources (and either restarting X or running "xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources") will do that: xterm*background: black xterm*foreground: white xterm*cursorColor: green (You can put these lines into /etc/X11/Xresources to affect every account on your machine) 3) Modify the menu entry - to do this, you should (as root) copy /usr/lib/menu/default/xbase to /etc/menu/xbase and then edit it, changing the "xterm" to "xterm -bg black -cr green -fg white" so that a portion of that file reads: ?package(xbase):needs=x11 section=XShells \ longtitle="Xterm: terminal emulator for X" title=Xterm\ command="xterm -bg black -cr green -fg white" You should then (as root) run "update-menus". You can also (if you want to make this change just for your account, and not for all the others on your system) put the modified xbase file into ~/.menu/xbase and run update-menus as your normal (non-root) user. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
