qconsole is a simple c application that makes an xterm window behave
5
+
like the console on the game "quake" (and probably many others).
6
+
7
+
when qconsole is started, it spawns an xterm with the "-into" option
8
+
to reparent it under qconsole, and then hides it offscreen.
9
+
10
+
to show the terminal, press control+o and it will scroll onto the
11
+
screen. press it again and it will scroll back off the screen. if
12
+
the xterm is killed, a new one will be spawned.
13
+
14
+
the xterm is launched with a name of qconsole. to adjust its
15
+
colors and font, add xterm X resources to ~/.Xdefaults (and maybe
16
+
run xrdb) such as:
17
+
18
+
.qconsole*background: white
19
+
.qconsole*foreground: black
20
+
.qconsole*internalBorder: 5
21
+
.qconsole*utmpInhibit: true
22
+
.qconsole*rightScrollBar: true
23
+
24
+
to adjust the window height, use the -h option. to adjust the speed
25
+
that the console scrolls, use the -s option (1 to 10, default of 9).
26
+
27
+
if you don't like qconsole, there are a few other applications like
28
+
it that may work better:
