I have colours set for my urxvt terminal in my .Xresources. I know this file works because manually running xrdb ~/.Xresources
produces the expected result.
I have tried putting xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources
EVERYWHERE (~/.{xprofile,xsession,xsessionrc,xinitrc}
) to no avail.
Funny that you put in the leg work for this just today! I just came across this problem in trying to unify my emacs settings across systems with .Xresources. Confirmed it works for both Mate 1.12 and 1.20. – KevinG – 2018-08-24T01:04:09.333
