XTERM-CONF(1) User Contributed Perl Documentation XTERM-CONF(1)

xterm-conf - change configuration of a running xterm

    xterm-conf [-f|-force] [options]
    xterm-conf [-is-supported]

Change configuration of a running "xterm" and compatible terminal emulators (e.g. "rxvt").

See XTerm::Conf for a complete option list.

Additionaly, xterm-conf supports the -f option to force a terminal configuration change without checking the "TERM" environment variable before. This is useful e.g. when running in a "screen" or "tmux" session within an "xterm".

If "xterm-conf" is called on an unsupported terminal, then nothing happens.

"xterm-conf --is-supported" can be used to check if a terminal is support, if so, a true exit value (exit code = 0) is returned, otherwise a false exit value (exit code = 1).

Change the title, foreground and background colors of the running xterm:

    xterm-conf --title "The new xterm title" --fg black --bg white

If running a "screen" or "tmux" in an "xterm", then the "--force" switch has to be used because of the different "TERM" value:

    xter-conf --force --title "The new xterm title" --fg black --bg white
