FYI: I use this (but with light background): *VT100*colorMode: on *VT100*boldColors: on *VT100*dynamicColors: on ! Uncomment this use color for underline attribute !*VT100*colorULMode: on !*VT100*underLine: off *VT100*colorBDMode: on *VT100*color0: black *VT100*color1: red3 *VT100*color2: green3 *VT100*color3: yellow3 *VT100*color4: blue3 *VT100*color5: magenta3 *VT100*color6: cyan3 *VT100*color7: white *VT100*color8: gray30 *VT100*color9: red *VT100*color10: green !*VT100*color11: yellow *VT100*color11: goldenrod *VT100*color12: blue *VT100*color13: magenta *VT100*color14: cyan *VT100*color15: gray90 *VT100*colorUL: goldenrod *VT100*colorBD: blue Hope this helps, Ilya P.S. Probably xrdb -merge NameOfFileWithThisSettings is enough to change the colors for the future xterm's.
