I once saw someone with an image in the background of their terminal.. Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks!

Unfortunately I do not have Linux currently running to give you a better idea, but you should have some sort of option/program that will list the architecture of your system somtimes it can be done through that in other distros it may be done through a settings/desktop environment program. Which Linux are you running and we might be able to help you out more?

is it possible with konsole too?
i really don't understand why ppl use eterm.. with konsole for example, i can open multiple shells in on terminal, which is great.. i don't see why others like eterm don't have such an option

Yes, you can get a background image on a konsole.

In konsole, go to Settings --&gt; Schema --&gt; And then choose a theme (themes are called Schemas ;))

Read the file /usr/share/apps/konsole/README.Schema for information on creating your own Schemas (Schema files are saved in /usr/share/apps/konsole/*.schema).

You can also set konsole to be transparent, which will show your desktop background. Only works if you don't have a too funky wallpaper that will interfere with seeing your text.

Konsole takes about 5 times longer to appear than an xterm/eterm. Why run a bloated program like that when you can run an speedy eterm/xterm?

Konsole on my pc takes less than a second to load. Not fast enough?

and even if it's not as fast as other terminals, you have to run it just once, though you have to run tons of xterms etc, which is completely useless
