(Man, I always get the most weird problems of the net... not one EASY TO SOLVE little problem, damn it!) Ok, i want to alter the colors on my terms... the problem is that when I modify something on my HOME/me/.Xdefaults it doesnt take effect (not always) For example: !blue !XTermcolor4: steelblue XTermcolor4: blue !XTermcolor12: cornflowerblue XTermcolor12: blue Those colors 4 and 12 DO alter whenever I change their values (as I did)... However... !red !XTermcolor1: OrangeRed XTermcolor1: yellow !XTerm*color9: OrangeRed Color 1 doesnt change AT ALL!! Nor does the green... This is a mystery to me... Any suggestions??
