[SOLVED] URxvt foreground and background color being overwritten

Hello all,
this looks like a small issue, but I'm not able to find the root cause.

I'm using URXvt with some custom settings and a color-scheme, which I create as follows in my .Xresources:

URxvt.transparent: false
URxvt.geometry: 100x32
URxvt.font: xft:iosevka-term:size=14, xft:LiberationMono:size=10
URxvt.scrollBar: false
URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,matcher,tabbed
URxvt.letterSpace: 1
#include "/home/pharmakon/.urxvt/themes/ayu"

I do an xrdb -merge .Xresources, but what happens after that is that all the colors except foreground and background are changed.

The culprits are xterm*foreground/background that are being set by some other file/setting on boot (the first few lines are from my .Xresources file). Below is the output from xrdb -q:

*.background:	#0f1419
*.color0:	#000000
*.color1:	#ff3333
*.color10:	#eafe84
*.color11:	#fff779
*.color12:	#68d5ff
*.color13:	#ffa3aa
*.color14:	#c7fffd
*.color15:	#ffffff
*.color2:	#b8cc52
*.color3:	#e7c547
*.color4:	#36a3d9
*.color5:	#f07178
*.color6:	#95e6cb
*.color7:	#ffffff
*.color8:	#323232
*.color9:	#ff6565
*.colorBD:	#e6e1cf
*.cursorColor:	#f29718
*.foreground:	#e6e1cf

**some more settings**

xterm*background:	#fcfcfc
xterm*foreground:	#232627
xterm.SimpleMenu*background:	#eff0f1
xterm.SimpleMenu*foreground:	#23627

Now, If I do an xrdb -remove and again xrdb -merge .Xresources, the colors are as expected, but only until the next boot.

How can I prevent xterm*foreground and xterm*background from overwriting my settings?

Thanks!!

Re: [SOLVED] URxvt foreground and background color being overwritten

How are you starting X?  If you use xinit/startx, please post your xinitrc.  If you use a DM, please post the equivalent script, config, or xsession files.

Re: [SOLVED] URxvt foreground and background color being overwritten

Hi!
Thanks for your reply.

I'm using LightDM, here is the script /etc/lightdm/Xsession: 

#!/bin/sh
#
# LightDM wrapper to run around X sessions.

echo "Running X session wrapper"

# Load profile
for file in "/etc/profile" "$HOME/.profile" "/etc/xprofile" "$HOME/.xprofile"; do
    if [ -f "$file" ]; then
        echo "Loading profile from $file";
        . "$file"
    fi
done

# Load resources
for file in "/etc/X11/Xresources" "$HOME/.Xresources"; do
    if [ -f "$file" ]; then
        echo "Loading resource: $file"
        xrdb -merge "$file"
    fi
done

# Load keymaps
for file in "/etc/X11/Xkbmap" "$HOME/.Xkbmap"; do
    if [ -f "$file" ]; then
        echo "Loading keymap: $file"
        setxkbmap `cat "$file"`
        XKB_IN_USE=yes
    fi
done

# Load xmodmap if not using XKB
if [ -z "$XKB_IN_USE" ]; then
    for file in "/etc/X11/Xmodmap" "$HOME/.Xmodmap"; do
        if [ -f "$file" ]; then
           echo "Loading modmap: $file"
           xmodmap "$file"
        fi
    done
fi

unset XKB_IN_USE

# Run all system xinitrc shell scripts
xinitdir="/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d"
if [ -d "$xinitdir" ]; then
    for script in $xinitdir/*; do
        echo "Loading xinit script $script"
        if [ -x "$script" -a ! -d "$script" ]; then
            . "$script"
        fi
    done
fi

# Run user xsession shell script
script="$HOME/.xsession"
if [ -x "$script" -a ! -d "$script" ]; then
    echo "Loading xsession script $script"
    . "$script"
fi

echo "X session wrapper complete, running session $@"

exec $@

And here's the output from running this script:

Running X session wrapper
Loading profile from /etc/profile
Loading resource: /home/pharmakon/.Xresources
Loading xinit script /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/40-libcanberra-gtk-module.sh
Loading xinit script /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/50-systemd-user.sh

Re: [SOLVED] URxvt foreground and background color being overwritten

And what kind of session do you use?

Also the xrdb dump somehow misses your other urxvt settings and it's a bit weird that xterm specific entries would affect urxvt (unless you explicitly alter its class)

Assuming you posted only a random excerpt of the xrdb dump, please post the entire thing, before and after fixing the situation and also the contents of "/home/pharmakon/.urxvt/themes/ayu"
Also elaborate on your urxvt setup and why xterm variables could apply (eg. if you call urxvt w/ a class parameter)

I used the command 'w', here are the sessions:

Re: [SOLVED] URxvt foreground and background color being overwritten

Stuff like

*Toplevel.activeBackground:	#eff0f1
*Toplevel.activeForeground:	#232627
*Toplevel.background:	#eff0f1
*Toplevel.foreground:	#232627
*Toplevel.highlightBackground:	#eff0f1
*Toplevel.highlightColor:	#232627

or esp. 

*background:	#eff0f1
*beNiceToColormap:	false
*borderColor:	black
*foreground:	#232627

looks far more culprit.

The cause is porbably KDE/plasma that applies it's color scheme on the rdb.

I'd specialise the urxvt values like

URxvt*foreground     : #0f1419
URxvt*background     : #e6e1cf
URxvt*cursorColor    : #f29718
…

to keep the KDE palette elsewhere.

Re: [SOLVED] URxvt foreground and background color being overwritten

Yes, if I just change the theme file itself so that it says URxvt*foreground/background etc. it works, but the downside is that I'll have to do that for other themes as well in case I decide to change my URxvt theme in the future.
But it's a solution in any case, and most likely the safest.
