This > is a fallacy. I'm not just talking about code size here, but about what is available by default as well (meaning what all I have to disable). I have no use for the menu, or for the scrollbar (personally, I don't think they look that great anyway), or background images, or anything like that, and to get rid of them, I have to disable all of them. The xterm theme is the closest to usable for me, but it's still not perfect, and configuring it to be how I want it is far more effort than passing a few options to aterm, whose defaults are far closer to what I want. I'm not saying that Eterm is bad, because it really does seem like a nice program with lots of cool features... it's just not what I am looking for in a terminal emulator. > > uses about half of the resources that Eterm does. > > That's what the aterm folks would like you to believe.

I can see now that half is a bit of an overstatement, with the proper theme, but it's still less as far as I can tell. Is there any reason why this would be inaccurate? > Michael ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Tame your development challenges with Apache's Geronimo App Server.
