Screenshot About:
aterm (AfterStep term) is an xterm replacement, based on rxvt v.2.4.8. It includes features such as NeXT style scrollbar, resource efficient pseudo-transparency. It understands root background changes by AfterStep Pager and Esetroot. The primary goal of aterm is to provide cool visual features without resource consumption. It can be compiled to utilize AfterStep's libasimage for wider image format support.

[»] Future releases
by Sasha Vasko - Aug 2nd 2007 10:08:16

Thank you all for many years of support of aterm - it was fun.

aterm 1.0.1 is probably the very last release of aterm.
Everyone should start using rxvt-unicode as it is much more up-to-date and handles unicode realy well. All of the aterm's visual features will be and already are ported into rxvt-unicode, and I personally will work on rxvt-unicode exclusively from now on.

[»] aterm fonts
by nazar - Jul 26th 2006 13:07:01

I can't for the life of me figure out to configure aterm to change fonts dynamically. In the manuals, there's a mention of changing fonts on the fly, but so far everything i tried didnt work.

here's what i found: "You can change fonts on-the-fly, which is to say cycle through the default font and others of various sizes, by using Shift-KP_Add and Shift-KP_Subtract. Or, alternatively (if enabled) with Alt-> and Alt-<, where the actual key can be selected using resources smallfont_key/bigfont_key."

this method doesn't work, or it doesn't work the way i try it. So please let me know how to do it properly.

thanks.

aterm is great. really made things alot more easy. There was just one problem, in some cases the [<----] key sometimes shows up as "^h" Any idea how to fix it?

[»] removing borders
by spiritlover - Feb 19th 2003 09:10:33

I want to remove all the borders, so I can go totally transparent and it looks like the text is just on my desktop.
But I can't find an option for that in aterm. eterm does it...but I do prefer aterm overall (that transparency is great, and it handles a non-pixmap solid-colored desktop, which eterm doesn't).

How can I remove the borders? Is it possible?
If not, consider this a feature request.
Also consider this a request for a support-forum.
I know it wouldn't get much use, but once in a while.... :)

    aterm itself doesn`t support that, but you can do that without a problem. Have a look at bblaunch, a tool of blackbox. download/install I start aterm with the command bblaunch -d 0 aterm +sb -tr -trsb -fg white -bg black -sh 50 -g 75x25 -sl 5000 I get a totally transparent aterm without any bit of a border! -rd

        Yep, i know this is hard to find. I had to look several days to find it ... quite strange cause it is a really cool tool.

        Keep looking on google for it, if you dont succeed I can send
        it you via mail. Just give me your address and I can send it to you.

              Altouhgh I was the first one to add a comment here, I just decided to come back today, 5 years later and I really dont know why. LOL!

              Im still using aterm as my favorite terminal. Since Im running KDE (wich is some kind of wierd to me to addmit cause I was a huge windowmaker entustiast), I dont have any trouble about removing borders cause its handled by the KDE itself.

              In order to achieve that, you may click on the icon up right at the desired window (of course it can change depending on your's "Window Decorations" located at "Appearence & Themes" on the KDE Control Center), access the "Advanced" menu and select "No Border".

              After resizing, moving and removing borders, I save my KDE session to always start with my aterm terminals already opened the way I like.

              I must say that's a sortcut to access that "up right icon" (but I dont know if will work for everybody):

              ALT+SPACEBAR -> Advanced -> No Border

[»] aterm+vi--->elvis problem
by Daito - Feb 6th 2002 23:54:42

Love aterm, but it seems to have a problem with vi when linked to elvis. If you can fix this in upcoming versions that would be great. A temporary fix is to link vim and vi, but i prefer elvis over vim. Other than this, aterm is AOK.

    same problem here. i really want to use aterm, but i couldnt, cause its too buggy with my favourite editor vim.
    it would be really nice, if this will get fixed....

      adding "-tn xterm" to your aterm options will solve the problem you see with elvis (i have successfully used aterm-0.4.2 with elvis since slackware 9.0).

[»] very good project
by Fredrik - Oct 31st 2001 04:06:21

So, I've think I have tried them all, loved Eterm, but since they are having _BIG_ problems with eterm and truetype fonts I found aterm, and it supports _EVERYTHING_. Just download and run it, you'll love it!
(aterm -rv -tr -fb 6x13 -sh 80 +sb -sl 400 -ls is a nice way to start up with transparency, some tint, loginshell, no scrollbars :)

[»] Amazing!
by Eduardo M. Bragatto - Jan 5th 2001 18:18:56

It's just the best terminal emulator that I ever saw. The background transparency is incredible! Works really fine, it's totally diferent from Eterm's transparency. And have support to some specials characters, if you speak in portuguese or spanish I'm sure that you will appreciate it! :)

    [»] aterm -cursors
    by sairam71 - Feb 7th 2003 11:39:27

    very good program except that when i use vim in colored mode i like to have my cursor match the color of the text i am on, it makes it pretty and readable. but aterm does not do that. that is the only problem i have with it. xterm and konsole do it.

    I speak portuguese and I'm just looking for that, however I can't find out how to add the letters with accents like an é or õ. Do you know how to do this?
