====== Change XTerm fonts, features, and other Xresources ======

X-Windows applications can be customized by adding resource values to the resource data base.

To specify resources to be set at startup, add a file called .Xresources to the home directory /home/user.

<code>
kwrite .Xresources
</code>

As an example, XTerm can be customized as follows:

To change the default font size to 9x15, add the lines:

<code>
UXTerm*font: 9x15\\ 
XTerm*font: 9x15
</code>

To add scollbars with 1000 saved lines, add:

<code>
UXTerm*scrollBar: on\\ 
UXTerm*saveLines: 1000
</code>

and the same for XTerm.  UXTerm is the "class" of XTerm launched with ctrl-alt-t, and XTerm if you start another by typing xterm.

To test changes, restart X-Windows with ctrl-alt-backspace or reboot, being sure to save all your work first.

xrdb -query will list the current contents of the Xresources data base.
