Ah. I'm still using Eterm from times to times, but its default color palette isn't that impressive. I've been using it without border or any widgets for decades thanks to the drag-to-move and drag-to-resize features of Enlightenment. but in August 2024, I made a few changes to the "Eterm-borderless" script that is bound to ALT+F5:
Eterm --borderless
--font-fx none # else it tries dropping a shadow
-f white # foreground color
--double-buffer
# -x # (alias for --borderless)
--cmod "96 255 255" # trick for tinting the background towards green
-O # transparent
-0 # immotile transparency optimization
--scrollbar=0 --buttonbar=0
--color8 rgb:60/60/60 # better dark-grey
--color3 rgb:cc/aa/00 # orangeish dark yellow looks better
$* &
--viewport-modeis fundamentally what I do with my "restore-bg" trick- the default color8 (dark grey) is rgb:33/33/33, which is really too dark for any purpose
- today's finding: an alternative to
-f whitecould be--colorDB white -f rgb:dd/dd/dd --color7 rgb:bb/bb/bb. That gives you a default color that is bright-but-not-quite white while still having the true white when things are bold, without sacrifying any shade of gray.
