I am trying to get the Solarized color scheme for xterm, but have not had much success with it. I am running Debian 6 and downloaded the Xresources to ~/.Xresources. After loading the new settings with xrdb -load ~/.Xresources, I get a XTerm with the blueish background from the theme, but no font colors.The default xterm is capable of color, as you can see below: How do I get the colors from solarized to show?
Xterm with Solarized only showing dark background without font colors
debian;xterm;x resources
