Eterm exec line....

[Devsforev]

Hey everyone. Reluctantly, I finally downloaded eterm (i prefer aterm, but since I want transparency in XChat, I was forced to get eterm.)

Right now, I have a quite lengthy command line to get it to run it how I like:

Eterm --buttonbar=0 --geometry 95x26 --scrollbar=0 -c white -f white -O --tint 0xA9A9A9

However, when I "ls" a directory, all the contents are displayed in white. In aterm, the contents will be differnt colors based on the file type. How can I have eterm act similarly? Thanks a lot!

woo! got it :)

Eterm, per deault, is a login shell. which means bash won't read .bashrc, it will read .bash_profile. so you can symlink .bashrc to .bash_profile (shouldn't cause any problems), or do it the better way.

you can change /usr/share/Eterm/themes/theme.cfg to have login_shell point to false.

OR, the really cool way, which is this :)

Eterm --buttonbar=0 --geometry 95x26 --scrollbar=0 -c white -f white -O --tint 0xA9A9A9 -a 'toggles login_shell false'

Excellent! Thanks for you're quick reply! Now I just gotta tweak the transparancy tint so everything will look OK.

Thanks again!!
