X(f)term colors
Well,
people are asking how to change xfterm color,
and I noticed that its not documented anywhere here.
xfterm4 is a wrapper that calls the terminal defined in the TERMCMD environment variable or else xterm.
So, to do that, you define so called X resources for xterm.
The program “xrdb” aids you with that, either directly by calling it and typing, or you put it into a file in your home directory, called .Xresources
Your xinit scripts will usually call xrdb for you.
An example Xresources file is at http://www.gonetoo.de/dannym/Xresources
X resources apply only to newly opened programs, so reopen your Xterm
Hope that helps someone :)
