The --scrollColor and --troughColor options of aterm are documented in the man file that comes with this version (0.4.2-r11), and aterm does not complain that they are illegal options, however they do nothing: the scrollbar and trough remain the default color (grey). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.aterm --scrollColor red --troughColor blue Actual Results: The scrollbar and trough are both grey. Expected Results: The scrollbar should be red, and the trough should be blue. I am using the Fluxbox window manager.
Does aterm-1.0.0 solve this issue?
two comments: 1.) those things are not commandline flags, but resources. so you'd not be able to specify them like that, but rather into an ~/.Xdefaults file. 2.) unless i'm mistaken, they're part of the removed xterm scrollbar support, and are not functional in either 0.4.2 nor in 1.0.0. However, a similar result shouldn't be too difficult if you use 1.0.0 with the libAfterImage dependency. I'll check. I'm not sure if the manpage is erroneous in 1.0.0 as well.
True, these shouldn't work as command-line parameters anyway (and aren't documented as such). However, aterm doesn't complain that they're invalid options. That appears to be an upstream bug.
