[solved] xterm background gets reset to black after starting xterm
Hi, everyone . This is my first post. I am facing a problem using xterm. The background appears only for very short duration of time when i start xterm then it gets reset to black, despite my configs in ~/.Xresources
[~]$ xterm -version
XTerm(344)
[~]$ awesome --version
awesome v4.3 (Too long)
• Compiled against Lua 5.3.5 (running with Lua 5.3)
• D-Bus support: ✔
• execinfo support: ✔
• xcb-randr version: 1.6
• LGI version: 0.9.2
[~]$compton --version
v5.1
My ~/.Xresources file
! --------- Global-------
! ------------------------------
Xcursor.theme: Bibata_Amber
Xcursor.size: 32
!! --------------------------
!xterm settings
!-----------------------------
XTerm.termName: xterm-256color
! Make 'Alt' key behave as on other terminal emulators
XTerm.vt100.metaSendsEscape: true
! Fix the backspace key
XTerm.vt100.backarrowKey: false
XTerm.ttyModes: erase ^?

XTerm.vt100.faceName: DejaVu Sans Mono:style=Book:antialias=true
! Every shell is a login shell by default (for inclusion of all necessary environment variables)
xterm.loginshell: true
! I like a LOT of scrollback...

XTerm.vt100.foreground: white
XTerm.vt100.background: green
My ~/.xinitrc

Re: [solved] xterm background gets reset to black after starting xterm
Does this also happen if you eg run "xterm -hold -e ls"? (this will open and keep an xterm printing the contents of the current directory)
To be sure: by "background" you mean "green" (not somehow the wallpaper)?

Re: [solved] xterm background gets reset to black after starting xterm
doing "xterm -hold -e ls"
It holds xterm printing contents and background remains green.
Thank you for reply.
I was confused about wallpaper. It was my python-pywal doing color changes.
Sorry, if i wasted your time

No problem.
Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.
