Size of terminal windows

[Christian Deutsch_1]

Dear Vibhor,

Thanks for the cool new hat!

Some more ideas for you. Below are the options I use. I like a pale green background. I don't like blinking cursors very much. I like a black foreground (letters) for good contrast. I like to specify a nice geometry, widthxheight+pixels from left of screen+pixels from the top.

loginShell gives me a dtterm with a new login shell that runs my .profile automatically when it is opened. mapOnOutput pops the window up (makes it visible again) if there is new output in the window. I don't want a menu bar in my dtterm (can get the menus using my right mouse button if I want them). I like the pointer to go blank if I'm just looking at something in the window and not typing. I like a custom cursor. And finally I don't want a beep if I press a particular key at the wrong time (e.g. backspace at the beginning of a line), so I let the window flash at me instead. And there are many more options you could set if you want to: man dtterm.

Kind regards, Christian
