XTERMSET(1)		     General Commands Manual		     XTERMSET(1)

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 writ-
	     ten 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.

FILES
     ~/.xtermsetrc

SEE ALSO
     bash(1), xterm(1), X(1)

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.
