"rxvt" terminal emulator resets settings after logout


Abrit Pal Singh

Whenever I log out, rxvt resets to its ugly out-of-the-box look. Then I had to run the following command to restore my settings.

xrdb ~/.Xresourses

Do I need to do this every time I log out? Please help this is what it looks like after login. enter image description here

I am using manjaro linux v-10.1.0 and kernal x86_64 Linux 5.2.11-1-MANJARO

This $HOME/.Xresourcesfile will contain different settings than the default, and I assume most Linux distributions will read/merge settings from this file when X starts.

Make sure you spell the filename correctly and also make it readable by everyone
$ chmod 555 $HOME/.Xresources

Edit: Removed "fix" - and replaced it with correct solution.
