Yes, Vincent said that the default .Xresources contain some settings with a higher priority. And the stackexchange comments says that if there is an Xresource "somewhere" that has more specific settings like XTerm*background then it overides the generic settings like *background. > "*customization: -color" is from /etc/X11/Xresources/x11-common. It tells > X what application specific resource file in /etc/X11/app-defaults to use. > Normally the resource file used corresponds to the application name; for > example, XTerm for xterm. The customization resource adds -color to the > normal resource file name and so XTerm-color is used. It's very confusing to me. From what I interpret, the *customization: -color simply selects XTerm-color resources instead of XTerm from /etc/X11/app-defaults? > Note that .Xresources is merged with XTerm-color but from your re-reading > (and from your experience) you should realise it does not mean everything > in it is applied. > Take your *original* .Xresources and, in the light of your reading, look > at the output (color1 etc in particular) of 'appres XTERM xterm'. color1 is #f92672 > Now add the line > *customization: > to the original .Xresources and run the appres command again, Can you > predict what should happen to an xterm when you start X? I am typing this *before* I make any changes in my .Xresources and before "xrdb .Xresources" I feel that this should overide the *customization: -color settings in /etc/x11/Xresources and the settings in XTerm should be loaded. Okay after adding the said line in .Xresources (*customization:) and reloading them (xrdb .Xresource) color1 is xterm*color1: #f92672 Which is the same? Am I missing something?
