 Posted: Mon Apr 11, 2005 3:46 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] Xfce Terminal geometry (or other UTF8-comp. term.) |
 |
|
When I launch my window manager (fluxbox), I also launch four terminal windows on one of the desktops (no window decorations). Up until now I've been using aterm, but I recently migrated to UTF8, and aterm doesn't support it. So I switched to xfce-extras/terminal, but I can't get it to automatically cover one quarter of the screen. Fluxbox can do the positioning, but there doesn't seem to be any -geometry switch. Any ideas?
Or, I could switch to another terminal, if somebody knows of one that supports both UTF8 and transparency, and that doesn't have menus (or menus you can turn off).

If you emerge xterm with the unicode USE flag set you should have a program called "uxterm". That's what I use.

Does it have transparency? No biggie, but those four terminals cover an entire desktop, so i would like it to look good.

I believe there is a `-tr` switch or similar that you can use to achieve this affect. I don't use transparency on my uxterm sessions though so I'm not certain. The man page should have more info if you're interested.

It seems uxterm is just the same as xterm -lc, at least in this case. But thanks anyways.
