Yes, that's an improvement!

but until the last two versions of Fedora, 30 and 31, I used the 
following (from my notes):

[bobg at Box10 ~]$ cat /home/bobg/.Xresources

!
! Reloads .Xresources file
! $ xrdb ~/.Xresources
!
! Shows contents of all properties
! $ xrdb -query
!
! Font settings extras
Xft.dpi: 120
Xft.antialias: true
Xft.hinting: true
Xft.rgba: rgb
Xft.autohint: false
Xft.hintstyle: hintfull
Xft.lcdfilter: lcdfilter
!
! /usr/local/bin/tkremind cooperation
tkremind*Background: #000000
tkremind*Foreground: #ffffff
tkremind*activeBackground: #000000
tkremind*activeForeground: #ffffff
tkremind*highlightBackground: #00ff00
tkremind*selectBackground: #000000
tkremind*selectForeground: #ffffff
!

However the current versions of Fedora display white on black for about 
500 milliseconds and revert to the black on white. That worked nicely 
for several years, until it didn't ...
Poma "pomidorabelisima at gmail.com" provided the code when I described my 
problem.

Thanks for the help,  Bob
