I'm using fresh install of Arch with i3; after logging into I type in startx and i3 is starting with default settings, despite the configuration of my .xinitrc:#!/bin/shexec i3exec xrdb ~/.XresourcesBut when I run xrdb ~/.Xresources from the terminal, the colors change to values configured in .Xresources
.xinitrc not loading .Xresources
arch linux;i3;x resources;xinit
In your .xinitrc you need to execute xrdb first and then launch i3. E.g:#!/bin/shxrdb -merge ~/.Xresourcesexec i3
