One counter example is termite, since it requires the whole command to be quoted in the -e option. However the actual command spawned is probably based on xterm's arguments, so only the terminal emulators which use the same argument to specify the start-up command works. Then I tried to make this symlink ln -s /usr/bin/st ~/.local/bin/xterm Scrollback search (really useful when you forgot to pipe a long running command into grep, less or. A command mode which takes its roots into Vim command mode. Enabling the dark mode on macOS won’t change that but if you find the default white to be a bit too bright for comfortable use, you can change the terminal theme on macOS to one of those that come packaged with the app. Moreover, Termite brings some interesting features: Open a new terminal in the current directory: a basic feature I was trying to achieve directly in my Xmonad configuration for months. So I guess xterm is hard-coded in the program to open. The Terminal in macOS is, by default, white. This installs the Paleta program, but not the color palettes that are available in its GitHub repository.

When trying to exec a desktop entry with exo-open (similar to xdg-open, from xfce), there is a warning message sh: line 0: exec: xterm: not found How to install and use Paleta to change terminal colors on-the-fly, and make the change permanent For Arch Linux / Manjaro there's a Paleta AUR package that you can use to easily install this tool.

desktop with Terminal=true will use the new terminal emulator. The advantage of this work-around is you don't need to change any desktop entry files. I can not guarantee this works for everyone though. I just found another work-around for this problem: create a symlink named xterm in your $PATH to your own terminal emulator.

If the linux only support 16 colors then you can use 'e31m' to set the foreground color and 'e41m' for background color.

It forces me to change all of these light colors. Edit: this does not work sometimes, I don't know what is controlling what terminal emulator is used when you open vim. Any light color in my terminal is too similar to background color and hard to read such as yellow, light-gray and white.
