Hi all,
Given that GNOME is Sun's forward direction for windowing environments, I
have been trying to use it more often (the photo previewer in Nautilus
makes this easier to do!). The trouble is, as a long-term CDE user, there
are several major road blocks to my doing this.
At the top of the list right now is the fact that dtterm doesn't play nicely
with GNOME, wrt background colours. Like just about every geek I know, I
use green on black with my terminal windows, so to get the effect I want
(i.e., green on black text, with default colours for menus and the scroll
bar) I have the following in my ~/.Xdefaults:
Why not migrate to gnome-terminal then. I uses the same multi threaded
architecture that dtterm does (ie on gnome-terminal program lots of
child shells), it even supports tabs.
You can select Green on Black as directly from the terminal config.
Or, failing that, is there a way to cajule gnome-terminal to use the same
font as dtterm? I'm currently using Lucida Sans Typewriter at 9 points,
but I find the interline gap too wide. I'm pretty sure that getting
gnome-terminal to use the same font as dtterm will fix this, which will
take me one step closer to being a GNOME user (but there are many steps
to go!).
I use "Bitstream Sans Vera Mono 10" as my default terminal font. A very
nice font it is too, especially since it anti-aliases nicely!
