KKTerminal

Why another terminal emulator? Simple all the others had too many dependencies, or too many bells and whistles or just weren't quite right so I made this simple low resource emulator, it can be built for either gtk2 or gtk3 ( I prefer gtk2 ).

Why 'KKTerminal', just because it fits with my editor KKEdit.

Although written on Linux From Scratch, it has been quickly tested on *buntu, xfce4.
Dependenceis are small, just gtk2/3 and libvte to match, if your distros split the dev files from the main package you will have to install them.

Gtk2 version.

Gtk3 version.

Gtk3 version with menu icons.

Prefs.

As you can see not a lot of difference between the two, preferences are set via a text file '~/.KKTerminal/kkterminal.rc', here you can set background/foreground colour, font and font size, and position/size, the position and size will however be overwritten on exit, a GUI to set the prefs is on it's way.
There is a manpage installed, and you can right click on a terminal window to pop up a context menu.
Bells and whistles are limited at the moment but watch this space!

Usage:
      Open new instance of kkterminal in '/usr. and list:
            kkterminal -m -e ls /

       Open ~ and / in new tabs in running copy of kkterminal:
            kkterminal ~ /

       Open new instance of kketeminal at pos 100,200 with width=800 and height=400:
            kkterminal -m -x 100 -y 200 -w 800 -g 400

Default is to use a single instance but multiple instances can be opened with the '-m' switch.
See the manpage for more details.

At the moment the source is only available on github as the project is quite new ( but usable! ) and is liable to rapid change.
