Bug#932375: How to make UXterm use reverse colors automatically?

reassign 932375 mutter severity 932375 wishlist thanks Reassign reason: as suggested by Sven, the issue is apparently more related to the window/display manager rather than to UXTerm itself, cf. http://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/677

e able to write a *good* bug report or a wishlist issue for mutter, since it's not a user-level application that I interact with directly: I know nothing about mutter. However, I may reassign the current bug report there. 20.07.2019, 19:32, Sven Joachim On 2019-07-20 19:56 +0300, Md Ay

So, would $ cat .Xdefaults UXTerm*reverseVideo: true and a reboot be sufficient? Without rebooting, there is no effect so far. As for the startup files, I am not aware of any user-level user ones beyond .xinitrc, ~/.Xresources and ~/.config/autostart/*desktop, and all of them seem to be ignored

I know about the -rv option. It's one-off, i.e., you have to provide it again and again. As for .xinitrc, I thought that wayland doesn't source it on startup. > > Anyway, having said all that, what's the "official" way to have the uxterm > > default colors *automatically* white-on-black now?

Do you use Gnome with Wayland? I don't know; probably it's still xorg after upgrading from Debian stretch. I'll double-check and post here in short.

Package: xterm Version: 344-1 By default, the color of a uxterm is black foreground and white background. However, I'd like to have it reverse: white text on black background. To this end, I put UXTerm*reverseVideo: true into my ~/.Xresources, run xrdb ~/.Xresources, and reboot. I observe no ch
