Terminal

My thought: He made a background.bmp so the scroll prolly isn't usable

Thanks for the link. With Iceman's Jaguar VS and a little few edits of the config xml file + cygwin, I got something very close to Terminal on OS X.

Check it out:

Nice job.

Have you happened to check out Cygwin's performance compared to U/Win*?

I'd be very interested in hearing your experience.

Thanks in advance,

Grusic

I have not tried out U/Win*. Is that commercial? I personally only have used & played around with the shell tools and mysql/apache on cygwin. They seem to be fast enough for my needs. Unfortunately, my work place seems to be moving away from *nix tools towards .NET. *SIGH* Don't get me work, I think it is a very interesting technology but I always thought that one of its greatest strengths was interoperability and standards compliance. It seem that execs think that a unified system has to be on one platform using one set of tools rather than having a shared agreed upon standard interface to the data on platforms best suited for each environment. The databackend is the system, not the interfaces. Heh, I'm just a software developer... the hired help. I see system admins with many sleepless night battling code red 3 virus on servers on the internet.

aristole: There are commercial, educational and evaluation licenses for U/Win*.

If you'd like to check it out, please goto: http://www.research.att.com/sw/tools/uwin/

aristotle, Actually, I had read the read me, but I can't seem to get the buffer to allow a scroll.

Oh well, guess I'll have to do without.

Thanks tho

Do you have eConsole. This is a small Dos (not Unix) based terminal, but it is verry customizable. You can make transparent background, or picture background, you can have verry narrow margins, or no margins (and no titlebar) can configure the font color, the cursors, etc. The transparent background shows only the desktop background (not icons or other opened windows under the terminal. Check with google and download it. It's pretty free.

If i recall correctly, eConsole (Brandon Sneed's, right?) doesn't support REAL transparent backgrounds... only fake transparency (it only makes your wallpaper show through, not everything on your desktop, windows behind it etc.)

Well, to be honest, Console doesn't support real transparency either... just the usual win2000/xp whole window transparency (including titlebar and all)

What it DOES have (and eConsole doesn't) is a set of cool cursors, though

Edit: OK, i'm an idiot and don't read other people's posts thouroughly...

Sorry for that, Xanthrax...
