STJERM(8) STJERM(8)

stjerm - quake-style terminal emulator

stjerm [-OPTION] [-OPTION] ... [-OPTION]

stjerm is a quake-style terminal. It is minimalistic and works well with compiz. stjerm can be configured via commandline or the .Xdefaults file.

The following list of options displays the .Xdefaults option first and then the commandline option. The commandline options have a higher priority and thus override the .Xdefaults options.

If you run stjerm with an action it will not parse other commandline options and will exit.

If you specify a hex color on the commandline you have to ommit the # char. Otherwise the option will not get parsed. This restriction only affects the commandline options, not the .Xdefaults options.

--help
Displays menu with commandline options.
--info
Displays menu with .Xdefaults options.
--version
Display the current application version.
--toggle
Show/hide the current stjerm instance.
