Hello, Does anybody knows how to change the colors using the 'man'-command to display manpages on an XTerm? I use a black-background and the blue and green colors aren't readable,... . Kind regards, A belgian Gentoo user

So this is what I did:

in your ~/.Xresources file add the line

Code:

XTerm*colorBDMode: false

Then do a:

Code:

xrdb -merge < ~/.Xresources

Now the blue fonts (which is Bold fonts) should be bold white.
So I hope this helps
