Eterm is a copycat terminal with bonus options. Eterm uses Imlib for
advanced graphic abilities. Many people love the clear terminals you see
on alot of screenshots. I typically run clear terms with a tint or a
darker shade for a bit of differentiation from my background. Otherwise
it can be difficult to read my files because of the color display I have
set within DIR_COLORS. Which I could edit, but I'm too lazy :).
Basically you download the files from the Eterm.org site or one of the many mirrors.
Eterm 0.8.9
i386 Binary RPM
Eterm 0.8.9
i386 Binary RPM
If you don't have Imlib installed you will need to isntall it. However, if
you have enlightenment installed you have Imlib installed. Moreover, if
you are using Redhat 6.x or Mandrake then you most likely have Imlib
installed. (Enlightenment needs Imlib to work and Redhat and Mandrake both
come with Enlightenment with the default installation).
If you need to install ImLib:
Download Imlib here: ftp://ftp.enlightenment.org/pub/enlightenment/enlightenment/
Installing Imlib
tar -zxvf imlib-1.7.tar.gz
cd to imlib-1.7/
run ./configure.
If you get errors, check config.log to see why it failed.
Compile and Install
make
make install
RPM Installation:
(make sure you are root and in the directory where you downloaded the
Eterm .rpm)
rpm -Uvh Eterm-0.8-9.i386.rpm
bingo all done :)
Now onto the features of using and incorporating Eterm...
I use Eterm as my main terminal. There are a few really cool features of
Eterm that may or may not interest you. Basically if you read this far its
safe to say you're interested. Again, I use transparent terms with a
slight tint of black to differentiate from the background display (See screenshots for example).
Note: I use this setup for my Eterm terminals:
Eterm --trans --menubar=0 --scrollbar=0 --shade=50
