Re: Background-color of bash

The best way to do this is to edit (or create) the .Xdefaults file in your home directory.
something like the following:

---------------- begin .Xdefaults ------------
*XTerm*background: red
*XTerm*foreground: white
*XTerm.VT100.geometry: 80x40
*XTerm*scrollBar: true
---------------- end .Xdefaults ---------------

then at your shell prompt...
unix> xrdb .Xdefaults
unix> xterm &

Note: the geometry setting uses VT100, not the wildcard, to avoid resizing the menus
the xrdb step is not required if you stop and restart XWin
