Title: Ubuntu code_runner small xterm
Post by: nmtservice on August 10, 2007, 09:23:28 pm

I'm running Ubuntu 7.04 at 1920x1600 screen resolution. My CB version is 3893 (yes, quite outdated. I know..) When development console applications, cb_code_runner starts a small xterm with near invisible fonts.
This xterm is not affected by my default xterm configuration and it didn't respond to arguments passed by means of modifying Settings->Enviroment->Terminal To Launch Console Programs.
There is any way to change cb_console_runner behavior?

cb_console_runner has nothing to do with the terminal it is launched in.
Instead, go to "Settings->Environment" and play with the value of "Terminal to launch console programs". It defaults to "xterm -T $TITLE -e". Change it to your liking (I believe you should play with the "-fs" xterm option to change the font size but your mileage may vary).

Maybe this is a weird bug related to my C::B version.
I've played with -fs a lot, but nothing change, Also I changed  xterm with another T.E's (mlterm, aterm, etc) but always a xterm (that infamous little one) is launched (from within the others T.E.'s)
Next week I will give a try to a more recent nightly build. I will keep you informed.
Thanks a lot.
