I get a 404 when trying to view the screenshot: http://phraktured.net/foo.png

EDIT: I just tried it. Very nice. I'll need to tweak it to make some colors more visible on my gensplash background. I'll probably need to reread this thread.

Yeah, I sometimes delete files without thinking - that one seems to have gone poof. I should redo the screenshot at some point.

It works nicely with the terminus console fonts too. Keep in mind that some terminus flavors screw with the last console line, making things work out poorly.

Anyone know why .Xdefaults isn't read automatically upon starting an X session? To be precise, transparency, shading and background, work correctly when issuing startx from the console. However, urxvt and xterm both greet me with all the text in some sort of gray/magenta color. No colored output from ls or from the colortheme.sh script. The only way I fixed this is to put the following in my .xinitrc:

xrdb -load .Xdefaults&> /dev/null

Then the color codes are read properly. Shouldn't this be the default behavior?

there should be no output to pipe to /dev/null you must have some errors in there look for space afters the colors or post the output

The preprocessor doesn't like my comments I guess. Everything works though. Colors look right. Maybe I'll try commenting with ! instead of #. This is the message I get when I load .Xdefaults from the command line:

18 errors in preprocessor.

More to the point though, should I have to explicitly load .Xdefaults from .xinitrc? I don't remember having to do that before and I don't remember ever seeing those errors either.

Here's a thought, should I make .Xdefaults executable?

Does anyone in this universe use a light background term

Is... is that allowed? :shock:

I do, but I've only customized my background color (DCDC97).
