The first is through your .xresources file. X11 keeps its session configuration and preferences in a key/value store called resources, and you can drop stuff into that file to configure just about anything. 'man xterm' to find the resources you can twiddle with. The other thing you can do is add 'set background=dark' to your .vimrc. -- :wq
