Shell - changing colors & fonts
- Thread starter Jackos

My solution is to use (a shell script with) command 'winterm' with options.
For example:
(#!/bin/csh)
winterm -bg 16 -fg 0 -t ´My shell´
will open a shell with gray background and black foreground.
Font option is -f (but I do not know the syntax).
See man winterm for more details.

if you want to permanently change the look of your winterms edit the following file /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/XWsh at the "winterm*font:" or the "startconsole*font:" for system consoles. you can create aliases for winterm such as "winterm -bg black -fg white -fn haebfix15". look in the /usr/lib/X11/fonts directory. there are subdirectories for different classes of fonts. the "haebfix15" is kinda cavemanish looking. anyways under these subdirs is a file in each called fonts.aliases that has the alias in the first field of the file for use with the -fn option. have fun.
