I am fiddling with /etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm-color, thinking that this is where /etc/DIR_COLORS, 34/44=blue are being defined assuming an xterm window? My problem is that blue (0,0,255) is a bright dazzling blue color and I need to tone it down a bit to something like "Navy" in X terminology. How can this be done or is it hardwired? Thanks!
