Terminal database ( terminfo (5) or termcap (5)) entries that work with xterm includeĪn optional platform-specific entry (“xterm”), Xterm does not support some other features which are not suitable for emulation, e.g., two-sessions. VT420 emulation (the default) supports controls for manipulating rectangles of characters as well as left/right margins. VT220 emulation does not support soft fonts, it is otherwise complete.VT102 emulation is fairly complete, but does not support autorepeat (because that would affect the keyboard used by other X clients).ĭouble-size characters are displayed properly if your font server supports scalable bitmap fonts. Xterm provides usable emulations of related DEC terminals: The active window can be chosen through escape sequences, the VT Options menu in the VT xxx window, and the Tek Options menu in the 4014 window. This is the window that contains the text cursor.

This box is located in the upper left area of the window.Īlthough both windows may be displayed at the same time, one of them is considered the “active” window for receiving keyboard input and terminal output. To maintain the correct aspect ratio (height/width), Tektronix graphics will be restricted to the largest box with a 4014's aspect ratio that will fit in the window. The VT xxx and Tektronix 4014 terminals each have their own window so that you can edit text in one and look at graphics in the other at the same time. If the underlying operating system supports terminal resizing capabilities (for example, the SIGWINCH signal in systems derived from 4.3BSD), xterm will use the facilities to notify programs running in the window whenever it is resized. It also provides Tektronix 4014 emulation for programs that cannot use the window system directly. It provides DEC VT102/VT220 and selected features from higher-level terminals such as VT320/VT420/VT520 (VT xxx). The xterm program is a terminal emulator for the X Window System.

Open the terminal using a Serif font and a font size equal to 20: xterm -fa 'Serif' -fs 20.

Open the terminal with 100 characters per line and 35 lines, in screen position x=200px, y=20px: xterm -geometry 100x 35+ 200+ 20.

Open the terminal with a dark blue background and yellow foreground (font color): xterm -bg darkblue -fg yellow.

Open the terminal in fullscreen mode: xterm -fullscreen.

Open the terminal with a title of Example: xterm -T Example.

I added the line xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources in ~.xinitrc, and everything worked fine. It turns out that window managers need the extra parameter "xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources" to load the changes in ~.Xresources. OK, i found the answer i was looking for in the Arch wiki under Xresources. So i added the following in ~.Xresources : zshrc (i am using zsh instead of bash):Īlias xterm='xterm -fa terminus -bg black -fg green'īut still it does not change the default settings of xterm, i googled around a bit and found out that i had to alter the. This however must be run manualy every time, i then put the following in.

I get the desired customisations by running the command: Spesificly i wish to use these settings as default, so that whenever i start xterm in whatever window manager it will use these customisations. I am looking for a way to customise Xterm so it uses a black background, green color to fonts and use the terminus font set.
