Theming on OS X tends to be weird, because Apple early on threatened legal action against anyone trying to replicate Aqua in e.g. themes and the backlash included disabling all theming on OS X. (Qt/KDE still refuses to do any theming on OS X; I don't know if Gtk+/Gnome still does.) Alternately has anyone a suggestion for a decent multi tab terminal, please I’m all ears. I spend 90% of my time in the terminal - it is important. I use iTerm 2, which is the iTerm2 port in MacPorts or available as a standalone dmg. (Note that there is also an iTerm port, which is an older version which was desupported several years ago. iTerm 2 is enhanced from the same codebase but with active maintainers after the original authors dropped it.) In general it's much better than Apple's Terminal. That said, I still don't run Mavericks much --- one small machine which is a bit slow anyway, so I can't really judge speed. -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allber...@gmail.com ballb...@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonadhttp://sinenomine.net ___ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users

Before I wade into the src code, has anybody solved the issue? Alternately has anyone a suggestion for a decent multi tab terminal, please I’m all ears. I spend 90% of my time in the terminal - it is important. I mostly rejected the regular utility/term because cursor movement was sluggish, but and maybe it was rose coloured memories frm snowleopard, gnome-terminal (mavericks) is just as sluggish now. Has mavericks done that? Thanks James ___ GNOME apps like gnome-terminal support theming but only if building for X11 not Quartz. However, for this to work correctly gnome-settings-daemon needs to be running (since theming is a desktop wide issue rather than an application one). This normally happens when a GNOME session is started but if you only want to run specific applications (more common on MacPorts) then you can start it by hand by executing /opt/local/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon --replace which will then run as long as you are logged in. Ignore the various startup messages on the console. In the case of gnome-terminal, this will make the difference between all tabs looking identical and the active tab being clearly highlighted (with a blue accent at the top using the default theme). ___ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users
