When trying to run aterm (my preferred terminal app) I get a similar error ''aterm: can't

file somewhere, but what?


I encountered this problem with aterm yesterday, while attempting to
color match the foreground (text) color with that of xmms.  Do you know
if there is a list of available colors for use in aterm?

I know all of the basic colors, like blue, green, red, yellow, white,
etcetera.   I'm wondering if it's possible to get different shades or
hues of a certain color though.   For example, I'm using aterm with
transparency and a gray tint with a blue foreground, but I'd like to use
a lighter blue than the one that I get by simply specifying -fg blue.

Well, I discovered the rgb.txt file (which contains named colors), which I thought would solve my problem when I made sure the color names that were giving errors were included. I still get the errors, though, even after restarting X, which I assume would reread this file.
