===Customization=== [[Image:XtermMenus.png|thumb|right|Example showing xterm's toolbar.]] [[Image:Xterm-256color.svg|thumb|right|Chart of the 256 colors available in an xterm with color support. XTerm color numbers and [[RGB]] values are shown for each. (Updated 2024)]] As with most [[X Window System|X]] applications, xterm can be customized via global [[X resources]] files (e.g. /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/XTerm), per-user resource files (e.g. ~/XTerm, ~/.Xresources), or [[command-line argument]]s. Most of the command-line options correspond to resource settings, as noted in the manual page. While the name of the program is ''xterm'', the X resource class is ''XTerm''. The '''uxterm''' script overrides this, using the ''UXTerm'' resource class. XTerm normally does not have a menu bar. To access xterm's three menus, users hold the control key and press the left, middle, or right mouse button. Support for a "toolbar" can be compiled-in, which invokes the same menus.
