Yes. I think you have unresolvable problem if your font's letters are 10cm wide, you have 80 columns and 807cm wide screen - whatever you do you either waste 7cm or see the 81th column partially cut. > since his bordercolor is the same > as his xterm background color, as can be seen on the screenshot he > provided. Well, till now I used border of 0px (e.g. no border, this is on the screenshot) which created some visual problems for overlapping windows, but I ignored them (because I rarely have overlapping windows). Now I set up black border of 1px and xsetroot -solid black. That way I get the old visual appearing of the terminal and can distinguish the borders of overlapping windows. ;-) -- Vasil Dimov [EMAIL PROTECTED] Software Developer @ Oracle/Innobase Oy [EMAIL PROTECTED] Committer @ FreeBSD.org [EMAIL PROTECTED] Home @ Sofia, Bulgaria
