xtermset

XTERMSET(1)						      General Commands Manual						       XTERMSET(1)

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

SEE ALSO

       bash(1), xterm(1), X(1)

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.
