xterm -ls -rv not reversing colors for blackbox












0















Right now when I run my xterm -ls -rv I still get a blackbox window with a grey background and black characters. Normally when I ran -rv it would reverse the colors making it have a black background and white characters.

Does anyone have any theories or potential troubleshooting mechanisms to figure out what's going on?
