Somewhere between xterm-patchlevels 174 (included in xf 4.3.0) and patchlevel 184 (currently in xc-xorg tree), some color definition in xc/programs/xterm/XTerm-col.ad have been changed: diff -u xfree86-4.3.0.dfsg.1/build-tree/xc/programs/xterm/XTerm-col.ad /data/work/cvs/xfree/xc-xorg/programs/xterm/XTerm-col.ad | egrep 'VT100[*]color' | grep -i blue -*VT100*color4: blue3 +*VT100*color4: DodgerBlue1 -*VT100*color12: blue +*VT100*color12: SteelBlue1 If you set add "*VT100*color4: blue3" in your .Xresources or change it /etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm-color, you'll have the colors the way you are used to ... From upstream Changelog file (http://dickey.his.com/xterm/xterm.log.html), you can see Thomas E. Dickey's comments for patch #180 (qouted bellow): # use color resource setting from Debian package for xterm VT100 widget, since the choice of blues provides better contrast. # remove color resources from XTerm.ad, leaving them only in XTerm-col.ad (prompted by Debian package for xterm). This was fixed for Debian #241717: http://invisible-island.net/xterm/xterm.log.html#xterm_192 |
