Are you referring to the background color of mounted directories? That would be URxvt.color2 (dark green)

Thank you, gako! It didn't occur to me that I could easily find out the color by comparing the two Xdefaults file. Anyway, now that you made my work easier, thanks to you, now I changed the urxvt.color2 color to that of urxvt.background. This makes mounted directories' color same as that of regular directories.
Thank you again.

About that, I admire your paper-themed color scheme. I think it's easy on eyes and looks awesome, too.

Re: .Xresources / .Xdefaults Thread

On another note, why would anyone want to highlight the mounted directories? Does that serve special purposes?

Re: .Xresources / .Xdefaults Thread

I could see it being useful to know that a directory is actively mounted. 

Maybe take a look at this script to see some color outputs for your personal xcolor setup.

#!/bin/bash
eval $(echo "no:global default;fi:normal file;di:directory;ln:symbolic link;pi:named pipe;so:socket;do:door;bd:block device;cd:character device;or:orphan symlink;mi:missing file;su:set uid;sg:set gid;tw:sticky other writable;ow:other writable;st:sticky;ex:executable;"|sed -e 's/:/="/g; s/\;/"\n/g')
{
IFS=:
for i in $LS_COLORS
do
echo -e "\e[${i#*=}m$( x=${i%=*}; [ "${!x}" ] && echo "${!x}" || echo "$x" )\e[m"
done
}

or even 

dircolors --print-database

(It's in greek but you can easily spot and copypaste the code.)

Thanks @nore smile
The original script is here. Mine is a customized version for terminator. My terminal choise then and now.
I like to play with terminal.sexy too. You can import color schemes in various formats, export them and try a number of presets in scheme browser (some of them are from gutterslod and dkeg).

Re: .Xresources / .Xdefaults Thread

@gako, I just started learning Bash.That's why I couldn't fathom some of the cryptic sign in this script. However, when run this script, I get an error, saying:

line 7: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"'
line 10: syntax error: unexpected end of file

Re: .Xresources / .Xdefaults Thread

loll sorry I did a real bad copy paste job from nano. I edited the post and that should work now.
It lists different filetypes/devices, etc. in the current xcolor scheme, pretty useful imo.

Re: .Xresources / .Xdefaults Thread

Perhaps a silly question, but if I don't have the ~./xresources file can I edit the /etc/X11/Xresources/x11-common file and have it perform the same function as the more user specific ~./xresources?

Try it and see.

To view the currently loaded resources, use:

xrdb -query -all

It looks like /etc/Xsession sets SYSRESOURCES=/etc/X11/Xresources
which is read by /etc/X11/Xsession.d/30x11-common_xresources which tells xrdb to load
anything in /etc/X11/Xresources/ directory so you don't have to edit  /etc/X11/Xresources/x11-common
but simply place resource file in that directory and it'll be read. (making sure of course to remove any xrdb * in ~/.xsession | ~/.xinitrc)
This doesn't work for me if it's named as a hidden ,Xresources but you could name it Xresources or pizza
You can name them whatever it seems.

Well look at that and all this time I've been using appres command.
Thx, I wonder how different the two are.

Well, appres(1) will show the resources seen by *any* application so it will also show, for example, ~/.Xdefaults settings as well.

On my system, I have ~/.Xdefaults but no ~/.Xresources (urxvt parses the former automatically so I don't need `xrdb -merge` in my startup script) so i get no output from `xrdb`:

$ xrdb -query -all
$ appres

i think it makes sense; so many people use it only as the basis for a completely different graphical environment.
