NAME

xtermset - change settings of an xterm

SYNOPSIS

xtermset [-option ...]

DESCRIPTION

xtermset allows you to change the characteristics of an xterm window from the command line. Most options have the same names as those that you would give xterm at startup.

OPTIONS

-store [<filename>]: This option will save all the other command line options given to the filename. If filename is omitted then the options will be written to ~/.xtermsetrc.
-default [<filename>]: This option will load options from the specified filename. If the filename is omitted then the options will be loaded from ~/.xtermsetrc. Options specified on the command line preceed those that are in the options file.
-f, -force: xtermset normally checks if you are using it on a correct terminal (xterm (derivative) or dtterm (derivative). With this option you can override this checking.
-T string, -title string: Sets the window title.
-n string: Sets the icon name.
-fg color: Sets the VT100 foreground color.
-bg color: Sets the VT100 background color.
-mousefg color: Sets the mouse pointer foreground color.
-mousebg color: Sets the mouse pointer background color.
-tekfg color: Sets the Tektronix emulation window foreground color.
-tekbg color: Sets the Tektronix emulation window background color.
-cr color: Sets the text cursor color.
-hc color: Sets the color for highlighted (selected) text.
-fn font-spec, -font font-spec: Sets the font.
-geom geometry-spec, -geometry geometry-spec: Sets the window size and position; see X(1) for details.

FILES

~/.xtermsetrc

BUGS

-geom does not support offsets from the left or bottom of the screen. If the geometry-spec isn't in the correct format, the output will be strange.
