The file called .Xdefaults
in your home directory is loaded
into the X server using the xrdb program when you start your X session.
In this file, each X application has a number of options which can be set,
such as reverse video, window size, window location, and many others. You
can set these options so that they are set every time you start up an application.
A line in your .Xdefaults file follows this format:
|
name.Class.resource: valueHere
-name
argument. The asterisk can be used as a wildcard, making it easy to write a single rule that can be applied to many different applications or elements, for example
xterm*geometry
if the name of the program is omitted this is a universal setting, for example
Many programs, such as emacs, have sample .Xdefaults so you can learn about some more of the defaults you can set.
For the colors available to you, use xcolorsel. You can either use the name of the color, or the 8-bit representation of the color.
For fonts, use xfontsel.
To reload your .Xdefaults after you have changed them without logging out, type in a shell:
xrdb -merge .Xdefaults
As for slection of options here are some heuristics:
