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 background color.

-mousefg color

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.
