Thanks to both of you, but I don’t find any “.Xdefaults” nor in home neither in root folder.

Thanks, but it didn’t work. The terminal still appears to be white.

Here an interesting article written by manyroads related to customizing the terminal (for xterm and urxvt).
Publishing here because it is related to the discussion.

Note the specific resources used for the two terminals. You can change the values assigned to the resources, but the resource names are very specific to each application.

As both Xecure and manyroads have explained and demonstrated, note the resources.

There are multiple ways to assign resources. As shown earlier, you can assign resources and values from the command line. Another way to make that simple is to assign the “long line of options” to an alias, for example –

alias ur=’urxvt -fg yellow -bg black’

The techniques that manyroads shows in his article are another way to explicitly assign resources, and when you put them in the correct resource file in the correct format, they are “remembered”.

Unfortunately, the suggested code snippet doesn’t seem to make any difference for me.

Perhaps I miss the point, but adding the line above to .Xresources doesn’t seem to make any difference for me, too.

Alias lines can be added to your .bashrc file (assuming you use Bash as your shell (it is the antiX default shell).

Put the alias on a new line in .bashrc.

Thanks for your help. I put it, opened urxvt and read this:

bash: alias: -fg: not found
bash: alias: yellow: not found
bash: alias: -bg: not found
bash: alias: black’: not found
