is it working for you after removing the dots from the variable names?

[zakariaGatter]

it work but not always just some times

@neeasade what was the expected behavior when you were implementing this?

[neeasade]

I had not tested sans dots, the intended behavior is eg st.background with a fallback to *.background -- I use *.<color> in my own Xresources[1], but I've never done the #include <file> thing.

@neeasade what was the expected behavior when you were implementing this?

wrong color like background and forground and almost all colors

@zakariaGatter have you tried debugging xrdb -query output?

there is also possibility what your Xresources have different variable naming, so when you doing xrdb merge old settings are not overwritten

i dont know if this possible but i tried xrdb -query and its show me the same color in the file

maybe xst handle the color differently

but its ok i love xst anyway

[neeasade]

Tested color with an #include directive, works as expected (sets colors from last set . or st.* color)
