Install instruction might not work if .Xresources contains *customization: -color

[phil-blain]

If your .Xresources contains line

 *customization: -color

then X11 apps will load their default settings from /etc/X11/app-defaults/$APP-color instead of /etc/X11/app-defaults/$APP(at least that's where the defaults are on Ubuntu).

On Ubuntu also, /etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm-color contains the following lines:

! These are the 8 ANSI colors and their bright equivalents.  Depending on
! other resource settings, xterm may use the bright colors when displaying
! bold text (see the boldColors resource).
*VT100*color0: black
*VT100*color1: red3
*VT100*color2: green3
*VT100*color3: yellow3
*VT100*color4: blue2
*VT100*color5: magenta3
*VT100*color6: cyan3
*VT100*color7: gray90
*VT100*color8: gray50
*VT100*color9: red
*VT100*color10: green
*VT100*color11: yellow
*VT100*color12: rgb:5c/5c/ff
*VT100*color13: magenta
*VT100*color14: cyan
*VT100*color15: white

Xterm favors these Xterm.VT100.color[0-9]* settings over the generic *.color[0-9]* settings, so the Dracula settings set in .Xresources as per the installation instructions do not work.

Suggestion: also set the VT100 settings in the .Xresources file, like this:

! Dracula Xresources palette
! For all apps
*.foreground: #F8F8F2
*.background: #282A36
*.color0:     #000000
*.color8:     #4D4D4D
*.color1:     #FF5555
*.color9:     #FF6E67
*.color2:     #50FA7B
*.color10:    #5AF78E
*.color3:     #F1FA8C
*.color11:    #F4F99D
*.color4:     #BD93F9

*.color6:     #8BE9FD
*.color14:    #9AEDFE
*.color7:     #BFBFBF

! For XTerm and friends
