You can customize xterm(1) via ~/.Xdefaults, e.g. (I am bringing this
file with me from the very first time when I started to use NetBSD on a
ye-olde Pentium 133Mhz... probably some of these options are the default
now but it will illustrates you how to do that :)):

 XTerm*foreground:	white
 XTerm*background:	black
 XTerm*faceName:	Droid Sans Mono
 XTerm*faceSize:	13
 XTerm*renderFont:	true
 XTerm*bellIsUrgent:	true
 XTerm*altIsNotMeta:	true
 XTerm*altSendsEscape:	true
 XTerm*pointerMode:	1
 XTerm*charClass:	33:48,35:48,37-38:48,45-47:48,58:48
 XTerm*utf8:		2
 XTerm*loginShell:	true

Regarding the bar ``XTerm*scrollBar: false'' should disable it.


HTH,
Ciao,
