What is Xdefaults
Xdefaults is a configuration file that your terminal emulator will use for settings so you dont have to specify long command line args. This file is located in the users $HOME and is a hidden file.
~/.Xdefaults
If you dont have this file its normal. Most people will have to create it before it is there.

I've changed all the settings but they do nothing!
Changes will not be visible until you run
xrdb -load ~/.Xdefaults
or
xrdb -merge ~/.Xdefaults
And then run the aterm or xterm or anything... most likely without any parameters.
How to load those settings on startup???
It is in the example .Xdefaults if you would read... Anyways: Add
xrdb -load ~/.Xdefaults
to your ~/.fluxbox/startup
And remember to launch fluxbox with startfluxbox.
Are there more options that are not listed here
Yes, for a complete listing of what all items your terminal emulator will take refrence its man page. Typically you can open its man page and type
/RESOURCES
Hit enter and most of the time this will bring you to where the begining of the optins listed are.
