Xresources colours not working properly...

The colours aren't rendering properly and look faint. The font colour is also black.. not white.

Re: Xresources colours not working properly...

It looks like those are applied.  You just misspelled foreground.  You probably should remove the "amp;" from your xinitrc as well.
