[SOLVED] How to make xterm black background by default

Hi,

I'm an openbox user and use xterm as my default terminal. How can I make it black background instead of the default white? Thanks!

Add to ~/.Xdefaults:

xterm*background: black
xterm*foreground: white

You might need to create the file if it doesn't already exist.
