For example, the usual fake transparency (I assume that's what you meant by desktop transparency) AND the real deal, so to speak. It's also one of those things that you could configure all day long. Too bad about Unicode, though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8115236289668114915.post-80519055164934560482009-04-25T19:17:00.000+03:002009-04-25T19:17:00.000+03:00@Ihar Filipau:

And thanks to the bogosity of FreeType2 you cannot even use the un-anti-aliased fonts...<BR/><BR/>I'm still sitting on "xterm" which have relatively good default config and also supports properly readable prerendered fonts.<BR/><BR/>And since I've never been "tabs" fan, I use several virtual desktops (normally 4) and put terminals on particular desktop depending on its purpose.<BR/><BR/>As a side note, due to that I often replace default window managers with IceWM. KDE which I like most has some flickering during desktop switching which after several hours becomes major annoyance. (IceWM is simply what I found first and made working for me with all my keyboard shortcuts within 5 minutes).<BR/><BR/>So my usual coding combo is: xterm + bash + vim. Works pretty well.Ihar Filipauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05086565400407007423noreply@blogger.com
