NAME

       xtermset - change settings of an xterm

SYNOPSIS

       xtermset [-option ...]

DESCRIPTION

       xtermset  allows  you  to change the characteristics of an xterm window
       from the command line. Most options have the same names as  those  that
       you would give xterm at startup.

OPTIONS

       -store [<filename>]
               This  option will save all the other command line options given
               to the filename. If filename is omitted then the  options  will
               be written to ~/.xtermsetrc.

       -default [<filename>]
               This  option  will load options from the specified filename. If
               the filename is omitted then the options will  be  loaded  from
               ~/.xtermsetrc.  Options  specified  on the command line preceed
               those that are in the options file.

       -f, -force
               xtermset normally checks if you  are  using  it  on  a  correct
               terminal  (xterm (derivative) or dtterm (derivative). With this
               option you can override this checking.

       -T string, -title string
               Sets the window title.

       -n string
               Sets the icon name.

       -fg color
               Sets the VT100 foreground color.

       -bg color
               Sets the VT100 background color.

       -mousefg color
               Sets the mouse pointer foreground color.

       -mousebg color
               Sets the mouse pointer background color.

       -tekfg color
               Sets the Tektronix emulation window foreground color.

       -tekbg color
               Sets the Tektronix emulation window background color.

       -cr color
               Sets the text cursor color.

       -hc color
               Sets the color for highlighted (selected) text.

       -fn font-spec, -font font-spec
               Sets the font.

       -geom geometry-spec, -geometry geometry-spec
               Sets the window size and position; see X(1) for details.

BUGS

       -geom does not support offsets from the left or bottom of  the  screen.
       If  the  geometry-spec  isn’t in the correct format, the output will be
       strange.
