NAME
       xtermset - change settings of an xterm

SYNOPSIS
       xtermset [-option ...]

DESCRIPTION
       xtermset	 allows	 you  to change the characteristics of an xterm window
       from the command line. Most options have the same names as  those  that
       you would give xterm at startup.

OPTIONS
       -store [<filename>]
	       This  option will save all the other command line options given
	       to the filename. If filename is omitted then the	 options  will
	       be written to ~/.xtermsetrc.

       -default [<filename>]
	       This  option  will load options from the specified filename. If
	       the filename is omitted then the options will  be  loaded  from
	       ~/.xtermsetrc.  Options	specified  on the command line preceed
	       those that are in the options file.

       -f, -force
	       xtermset normally checks if you are using it on a correct  ter‐
	       minal  (xterm  (derivative)  or	dtterm (derivative). With this
	       option you can override this checking.

       -T string, -title string
	       Sets the window title.

       -n string
	       Sets the icon name.

       -fg color
	       Sets the VT100 foreground color.

       -bg color
	       Sets the VT100 background color.

       -mousefg color
	       Sets the mouse pointer foreground color.

       -mousebg color
	       Sets the mouse pointer background color.

       -tekfg color
	       Sets the Tektronix emulation window foreground color.

       -tekbg color
	       Sets the Tektronix emulation window background color.

       -cr color
	       Sets the text cursor color.

       -hc color
	       Sets the color for highlighted (selected) text.

       -fn font-spec, -font font-spec
	       Sets the font.

       -geom geometry-spec, -geometry geometry-spec
	       Sets the window size and position; see X(1) for details.

FILES
       ~/.xtermsetrc

SEE ALSO
       bash(1), xterm(1), X(1)

BUGS
       -geom does not support offsets from the left or bottom of  the  screen.
       If  the	geometry-spec  isn't in the correct format, the output will be
       strange.
