When i restart my Mac, XQuartz comes with a black window and pale yellow
(Wheat) foreground. But if I need to restart XQuartz directly, it becomes white
and black foreground. Since I usually open a number of widows and I disabled
the shortcuts with CMD, I have several aliases to open them where I change the
fontsize like the following one:
alias xterm10
xterm -sb -fg Wheat -bg black -cr green -ms red -fa Monaco -fs 10&
My first window, whether white or black will therefore open other windows in
black background by typing xterm10 or xterm7, etc.
