Hi,
I am trying to create a resource file for particular programs
as specified in "The X Window User HOWTO", section 8.5, instead
of having the settings for all of them in ~/.Xdefaults.
However it does not seem to work. Here is what I have done:
- Set XAPPLRESDIR to point to ~/app-defaults in the top of
~/.xinitrc and an echo gives:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ echo $XAPPLRESDIR
/home/mojo/app-defaults
- Obtained the resource name for eg. rxvt by using xprop, and
it returns:
WM_CLASS(STRING) = "rxvt", "XTerm"
- I have created a file 'rxvt' in ~/app-defaults with some
settings like:
*background: black
*foreground: white
*geometry: 78x28+0+0
*font: 12x24
*scrollBar_right: true
*saveLines: 500
*termName: xterm-xfree86
and I have commented out settings in ~/.Xdefaults |
~/.Xressources that might override the above settings.
To be sure I have also tried renaming the file in
~/app-defaults "XTerm" and "Rxvt" but no go.
Why doesn't it work?
Regards,
Morten
