OK, this is konsole, in plain white bg, black default terminal font: ================================== PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 10374 michael 16 0 28616 16m 13m S 1.3 6.7 0:05.17 konsole ================================== this is aterm with pseudo-transparency, rv-video, etc.: ================================== PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 9780 michael 16 0 4504 2624 1392 R 0.0 1.0 0:00.91 aterm ================================== and this is xterm, with an attempt to make it look prettier: ================================== 10421 michael 15 0 5600 2664 2088 S 0.5 1.0 0:00.23 xterm -fg green -bg black ================================== On a resource challenged machine like this ol' box of mine aterm runs like a dream. Konsole is a bit heavier and it loads all sort of KDE components with it. I mean, if you're already running KDE then they are already running by default, but if you're running a lighter WM then konsole may not be the slickiest solution. -- Regards, Mick -- [email protected] mailing list
