Description
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
