Execute xterm & in one of the terminal windows which the pulldown menu gives you. There should pop up a xterm window with black background and white writing. man xterm gives a lot of options which influence the look of the terminal window. My favorite look is achieved by xterm -geometry 80x24 -bg wheat -fg black -sl 10000 +sb & (+sb suppresses the scroll bar. Scroll up and down by Shift+PageUp and Shift+PageDown. -sl 10000 gives a long scroll memory.) Repeat as often as needed to get the desired number of xterms. Consider to put your favorite xterm command into a script, so you can start it by a simple shell command like my_xterm (Consider to learn how to add such a command to the menus of the desktop or window manager. I gave my fvwm an "xterm" button by this line in ~/.fvwm2rc : *FvwmButtons xterm linuxterm.xpm Exec xterm -bg wheat -fg black -sl 10000 +sb -title xterm ) If the default character size is too small for you: Ctrl+RightMouseButton in the xterm window gives a menu with sizes Default Unreadable Tiny Small Medium Large Huge If you are willing to dive into the sea of fonts, search the web for proposals like xterm ...other.options... -fn '*courier-bold-r*140*' & xterm ...other.options... -fn 10x20 & Found on: https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/x-window-system/9780937175149/Chapter05.html where i read: "This wouldn’t be so bad if a typical font name wasn’t mind-bending at first glance." (Ah ... 1990s nostalgy ...) Have a nice day :) Thomas
