unexpected colors in xterm (compared with kitty) about xresources HOT 9 CLOSED

Hey there 👋

The colour definitions are the same across both configs, I've just checked it to make sure.

What's the output of your echo $TERM?
IIRC you might have to set TERM=xterm-256color

from xresources.

Ah, alright, thanks for the clarification.

Currently not near a Linux machine, I'll try to check this out later – since the definitions are correct, I'm guessing there has to be some setting that fixes this.

awesome, thank you for your time ;-) I love your work on this theme, guys!

Exactly!

from xresources.

Did that resolve your issue? Please close the issue if it did 🙂

from xresources.

ah no, sorry, I meant that your guess was right.

To be clear, this is the output of $TERM:

$ echo $TERM
xterm-256color

from xresources.

@mmngreco sadly I can't reproduce this issue - it seems to correctly set the colors for me. My Xresources config is the same as mocha.resources, with these additions:

XTerm.termName: xterm-256color
XTerm.vt100.locale: false
XTerm.vt100.utf8: true
XTerm.vt100.backarrowKey: false
XTerm.ttyModes: erase ^?

@nekowinston thank you for your answer. I've used your config but it didn't fix the issue

I'm using zsh on Pop!_os and i3 in case this may helps.

Any idea if there's another variable that may cause this ? I've checked my .profile , .bashrc, .bash_profile, .zshrc and I didn't find anything.

I was checking this more in details and I think that the problem is on kitty but xterm. I thought that the right color were those from kitty because I've started using there in the first time but aren't (I think).

Closing this and thanks for your support @nekowinston ;-)
