Background color

[v0idkr4ft]

I can't seem to figure out where this is set in the code. would like to change it to use my terminals background color or make an argument -b to disable it.

Yes, I would like to make it either deepblue sea or transparent (with a seabed pic as desktop background :-))

mine is set along with xcolor so I can change it live with any xrdb/xcolor script. It should also follow your terminal color settings, but idk.

xterm -fg white -bg black

if you want it to be permanent --

type man xterm
create a file named(sensitive case) XTerm in your home directory with your specs

XTerm*Background: linen
XTerm*Foreground: black
XTerm*font: 9x15
XTerm*saveLines: 1000
XTerm*HiForeColor: white
XTerm*HiBackColor: #c06077
XTerm*geometry: +50+100

That being said, you won't be able to get a transparent background to my knowledge, but I have no idea how compositors will handle xterm bg being set to transparent.

[nothub]

the same way as you would use the original. if there are problems specific to my version, please comment on the gist.
