xterm settings - no window decorations?[solved]

Ive been trying to fix my xterm to look the way I want it to look..

Ive managed the most with colors and so on.. just one thing. I want to run xterm without the gtk theme.. I want to only see the xterm terminal without the maximize minimize close icons on the top right..I dont want to have any borders and no title bar..

how do I do that??

I'd think that was a windowmanager thing.... some window managers allow you to turn decorations off.

As I already mentioned in the screenshots-thread, Devil's Pie should work with a .ds-script similar to this

(if (is (application_name) "xterm") undecorate)

Yeah, built fine here. I uploaded the package to my webserver, so you can use that in case you don't get it to compile for you: http://nooms.de/up/devilspie-0.16-2.pkg.tar.gz

It's a pacman package - you should be able to install with 'pacman -A <filename>'

Re: xterm settings - no window decorations?[solved]

I saw this other post somewhere where the guy had to change 'Urxvt' to 'urxvt' in his .Xdefaults file.  So maybe all those 'Xterm's need to be 'xterm'.  Plus, in case you don't know, the stuff between the /* */ is probably commented out.


fffft!
