X and Fluxbox :: How do I change X window format - noob

When opening certain applications (like octave), the X window format is set to transparent with black text - so it's pretty much unreadable. I can't figure out for the life of me how to modify this to a readable format.

When I open up ATerminal, the X window is transparent with white text, which is a lot better, but not ideal. Is the X window format set up independently for each application, or is there a system wide default that you can set?

If so, how could I change the standard X window format to be a white background with black text?

Thanks,

Wafer

If you are talking about Aterm defaults, see

/home/dsl/.Xdefaults

For individual mydsl extensions that are hosted by an Aterm windows, it may be the aterm options in the startup menu entry.

Roberts,

Thanks, you're helping me out all over the place!

I don't have that file.

The contents of my /home/dsl folder are:

Events
X11Basic.info
audacity-1.2.2.uci.info
azureus-gtk2_java-2.5.0.0-ver2.dsl
cups.unc.info
dosbox.dsl.info
index.html
index.html.1
index.html.2
octave-core
penguin-command.dsl.info
wine-0.9.28_with_opengl.dsl.info
xlog-0.9.9.dsl.info

Would it be somewhere else, or can I create it? If I have to create it, anyone have a template?

I can't believe this isn't part of Aterm itself (like a right click option).

Thanks again.

Chris

You have that file, it is a hidden file, i.e, begins with a dot

.Xdefaults

ls -la .Xdefaults

or if using emelfm click the 'H' under bookmarks to display hidden files.

.Xdefaults is not just for Aterm

You could also just use aterm options, such as "aterm +tr"
