A Much Better xterm

A Much Better xterm


A while back, I posted about improving my default xterm from drab nothingness to … something better. Here - A Better xterm.


Though, it was an improvement over the depressing white/black, its charm wore out pretty quickly. The colors were just too dull. And the script just wasn’t generic/flexible enough for my taste. That’s why I wrote another script(s), and this time, I certainly did get aesthetically pleasing random soft pastel colors - just as I wanted in the first place.


To start with, you’ll need to have my .Xresources, and merge it in your environment using xrdb -merge .Xresources.
