I have
| Code: |
Aterm*loginShell: true
|
enabled too, the aterm thingy worked a while ago, now it doesn't...
I have this feeling that aterm doesn't read my .Xdefaults file anymore?? |

maybe you borked your .bashrc; there is a default one at /etc/skel/.bashrc, try using that one (back up your current one, obviously).
if that doesn't work, post your .Xdefaults.

thank you for the reply,
here is my .Xdefaults file:
| Code: |
Aterm*$RESOURCE: $VALUE
Aterm*scrollBar: true
Aterm*transpscrollbar: true
Aterm*transparent: true
Aterm*background: black
Aterm*foreground: white
Aterm*shading: 60
Aterm*fading: 55
Aterm*loginShell: true
Aterm*saveLines: 1000
Aterm*font: -schumacher-clean-bold-*-normal-*-16-160-*-*-*-80-*-*

I copied the default .bashrc file over, still looks the same in aterm.
but when I open the gnome-terminal, it shows up my login user name and host name there..
so I think it's aterm not reading my .Xdefaults related.. cuz I have scrollbar set to true, it's not showing either. |

ok, i have no idea why there is the line "Aterm*$RESOURCE: $VALUE" in your .Xdefaults, but i KNOW it's not supposed to be there.

try this. if it works, we can be *sure* that aterm doesn't read .Xdefaults for some reason.
also, check to see if other programs pick up on .Xdefaults; do like so:
add the following line to .Xdefaults | Code: | | Xcursor.theme: $THEME |
(where $THEME is one of the directories in /usr/share/cursors/xfree/) then restart X. if your cursor has changed, the problem is aterm related, otherwise it's a bigger issue.

hi everyone,
thank you for the inputs.
finally figured out what's wrong with the aterm's scroll bar setting, I believe it's a bug in it.
| Code: |
Aterm*scrollBar: true # will have no bar
Aterm*scrollBar: false # will have no bar
|
| Code: |
Aterm*scrollbar: true # will have bar
Aterm*scrollbar: false # will have bar
|
and for the aterm's login user display, I stick the export PS1= line from /etc/profile to my .bashrc, so it fixes that display thing...
I don't know what other way could fix it too. but this is how I did it..

nope. if i put scrollbar instead of scrollBar, he simple ignores the option. are you sure you didn't typo anything?

While perusing the aterm man page, I stumbled onto the option for setting the scrollbar trough. I tried my aterm with and without the trough, but nothing seems to change. Does anyone know what the trough is supposed to be?
Also, I've been trying to set a different color for the scrollbar with no success. I use the following option in my .Xdefaults file:
| Code: | | Aterm*scrollColor: blue |
The setting does not seem to work at all. Any ideas why this is so?

both the options you describe seem to be without effect on the aterm. maybe colored and floating scrollbar are a planned feature or something. or it's a bug. (and no, i don't really know what the "through" is, either.)

I swear that I tested these, and I conclude that if doing
either
Aterm*scrollBar: true
or
Aterm*scrollBar: false
will have same effect of no scroll bar
on the opposite side,
doing either
Aterm*scrollbar: true
or
Aterm*scrollbar: false
will create scroll bar.
Some may say it doesn't, but at least the oddity is taking place on my box here, I thought my aterm shell is broken so I recompiled it, the same end result.
my aterm version 0.4.2-r8
Would I also need to consider that is not the aterm bug, maybe it's my compiler causing that error? such as using -O3 (since -O2 is more stable) and I throw a lot of optimization stuff in my make.conf too...
but then... that lil bug doesn't really bother me now, so whether I want a bar or without, I just change the cap b to B, or so forth.
 odd, isn't it. |

beastmaster,
You have to remember that the scrollbar is enabled by default. Therefore, using the Aterm*scrollBar: true resource will not have an effect. Once you set it to false it will take effect.

i dunno, but you seem to be the only one with that problem (or glitch, rather).

beastmaster,
How are you starting your aterm? Try opening an aterm directly from another terminal to make sure that it gets loaded without any extra settings. Sometimes, windows managers set their own defaults.

true, aterm isn't exactly built for "exotic" locales. it doesnt see my umlauts either, but that doesnt bother me particularly.

Anyone know where I can get more fonts?
More specifically the artzwiz font mentioned in the excellent guide...
The one that I am using now (misc-fixed) looks horrible.
