 Posted: Wed Nov 12, 2003 2:15 pm Post subject: Aterm configuration -- how?? |
 |
|
There was a thread several weeks ago about the various terms and aterm was mentioned. Since then I've been using it on and off since it is quite faster than teh gnome-terminal, but still can't figure out how to configure it! Is there any easy to follow guide out there someone could link me to?
More or less, I want a rather large font, a transparent, shaded panel, no boarders, and tabs. Well... I can't figure out how to do this! Any help will be apprecated.

You can start it with special commands or put all the options inside
( /home/you/.Xdefaults
and just start aterm with
insted of
| Code: | | aterm -option -option -option -option -option -option -option -option -option -option -option -option -option -option -option -option -option -option -option -option -option -option -option -option -option -option -option -option -option -option -option -option -option -option -option |
If you dont have a .Xdefaults file, create one, and ask google for some examples to get you started.

aterm*shading:40
aterm*background:Black
aterm*foreground:White

as for tabs, youll need to use a wm like fluxbox that supports tabs because aterm doesnt do tabs itself.

And here's my ~/.Xdefaults file. Make sure that you source it with xrdb -merge in your ~/.xsession or xdm/gdm/kdm startup scripts:
| Code: | !XTerm*charClass: 33:48,37:48,45-47:48,64:48

XTerm.charClass: 33:48,35:48,37:48,43:48,45-47:48,58:48,64:48,95:48,126:48,35:48

I'm especially fond of the "aterm.colorBD" and "aterm:colorUL" options: they make for a very nice effect when viewing bold letters in for example man or on the shell (ncftp). |

Here is my path to /home/.Xdefaults is that the right place? Now how I get it to load manually or automatically preferrably.

Off-topic: Aterm has a big disadvantage - no unicode support. I switched to rxvt-unicode, which has the same configuration system (as do all good little X apps  ), although few of the keywords are changed (manpage always helps).

| If you want tabs, get mrxvt. It used to be called multi-aterm, and it's basically the same thing but a bit better. Also, reading man pages is good for your health. ^_~ |
