Re: recommend a lightweight terminal

Sakura, it has a very good weight/functionality balance. I'm using it for more than a year (or something similar).

I really recommend it.

See you

Re: recommend a lightweight terminal

Yes skottish I reopen this again . The recent gnome-terminal update caused it not to run and already posted under DE posts. I would like to save the tabs and other configuration. My search did not give any fruitful result yet. Can any one point me how to save sakura settings? ( like tabs names/window title etc., I tried to put some thing in sakura.conf but no effect)

I find a way to keep the window title, number of  tabs open, by editing the sakura.desktop file. Still searching to keep tab names and their background.

Re: recommend a lightweight terminal

+1 for roxterm

uxrvt takes ~1 second to start. strace it and seems it is wasting time when scanning all X server fonts... besides, urxvt non-english fonts are terriable and hard to config...

gnome-terminal, terminal, lilyterm are not using double-buffer or whatever tech, making users see the process they redraw themself. It isn't a problem if compiz/mutter is used because these composite manager will do bufferring for clients. But it is a problem when non-composite wm such as metacity/i3/wmii/dwm/awesome/xmonad is used.

roxterm does not have issues listed above.

Not if you use urxvtc with urxvtd already running.

Btw, this thread is 3 years old and has been dead for 2.
