Ken,here is my xterm. wget http://xorg.freedesktop.org/extras/xterm-200.tgz cd xterm-200 ./configure --libdir=/etc \ --enable-256-color \ --with-x \ --enable-warnings \ --enable-tcap-query \ --enable-logging \ --enable-i18n \ --enable-luit \ --enable-wide-chars make make install Now that you mentioned,i don't know if you ever used the rxvt-unicode http://software.schmorp.de/ The good thing about it is,that the package is coming also with a daemon,call it urxvtd. Now if you start the daemon at start of an X session,the only thing you have to do is to run the included client (urxvtc) to connect to the daemon. Much more less memory used this way. The only problem,if the daemon crashes (very rare,in most than a year use i never had such a crash) you will loose all the clients too. Of cource you can run the plain terminal urxvt. If you are interested to give it a try here is my urxvt. wget http://dist.schmorp.de/rxvt-unicode/rxvt-unicode-5.7.tar.bz2 cd rxvt-unicode-5.7 ./configure \ --enable-everything \ --enable-rxvt-scroll \ --enable-transparency \ --enable-xpm-background \ --enable-fading \ --enable-utmp \ --enable-wtmp \ --enable-mousewheel \ --enable-slipwheeling \ --enable-smart-resize \ --enable-ttygid \ --enable-256-color \ --enable-xim \ --enable-shared \ --enable-keepscrolling \ --enable-xft \ --disable-text-blink \ --disable-menubar make make install And here is my ~/.Xdefaults for urxvt URxvt*inheritPixmap:true URxvt*scrollColor: gray URxvt*scrollBar_floating: false URxvt*scrollstyle: urxvt URxvt*colorRV:cyan URxvt*colorBD:blue URxvt*colorUL:ForestGreen URxvt*font: xft:Bitstream\ Vera\ Sans\ Mono:pixelsize=17 And this is how i start it with transparency enabled. urxvtc -tr -tint white -sh 40 Please check for typos -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-chat FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
