Hi

Im frustrated with the default osso-xterm.

Cant do real fullscreen. When maximize there are a ugly highlighted icon bottommmiddle taking huge space.

Question, are there any alternative?

Question...
When I go into fullscreen, the toolbar (with Ctrl, Esc, ..., Fullscreen) remains visible. Is it what you are speaking about?
Theoretically, you can use "gconftool-2" to look up ("-R") settings of X-Terminal ("/apps/osso/xterm"). Such as:
Code:
gconftool-2 -R /apps/osso/xterm
Then, while you are not in full-screen mode, change the setting to say that you want toolbar to be hidden when in full-screen mode:
Code:
gconftool-2 -s --type=bool /apps/osso/xterm/toolbar_fullscreen false
There is no need to {restart the operating system}/{reboot}/{restart the phone}. You may need to close-and-open X-Terminal, though, for the setting to take effect.
Best wishes.

@phoohb,

You can also try mrxvt. But probably following @Wikiwide's advice will be OK for you!

Yes this worked, seams todo the trick on the fly. Giving it statement "true" when I need that menu again.. Il put it in a script,
gconftool-2 -s --type=bool /apps/osso/xterm/toolbar_fullscreen $1

-true or false, worked with 1 or 0. also.

Didnt find "mrxvt", that the other person mentioned.

Quick reply...
Mrxvt is a multi-tabbed color vt102 terminal emulator for X Window system. It features multi-tab support, fast pseudo-transparent background, user supplied XPM/JPEG/PNG images for background, tinting, off-focus fading, text shadow, NeXT/Rxvt/Xterm/SGI/Plain style scrollbars, XIM and multi-languages (Chinese/Korea/Japanese), and logging.
It's installed in a usual way, such as (as root):
Code:
apt-get install mrxvt
It's probably not displayed in App Manager, because it has section "x11", instead of "user/something"; osso-xterm has section "system/applications"...
And, Mrxvt is in extras-devel repository, not in extras-testing or extras.
Best wishes.
