First off, that file name is spelled .Xresources, with an s at the
end.

Next, for changes to the ~/.Xresources or ~/.Xdefaults file to take
effect, the file has to be read by the X resource database manager.
This is done automatically when your window manager starts. If you
want changes made to that file to take effect without restarting
your window manager, you'll have to run 'xrdb', like this:

$ xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources
