This is a clone of suckless.org the coolest terminal client st. Light, stable, simple and fast. tmux brings in all other needed features.
- Inconsolata font usage.
- solarized dark - color scheme.
- xcompmgr is optional, when turned on - opacity configuration is taken into account for transparency.
In order to build st you need:
- Xlib header files - location of these might differ, edit config.mk
- xft lib headers.
- Inconsolata.ttf fonts, unless you change it in config.h
- Xcompmgr - if you wish to have transparency
Edit config.mk to match your local setup (st is installed into the /usr/local namespace by default).
NOTE: to have unicode character support, install freetype2 library headers.
apt-get install libx11-dev libxext-dev libxft-dev fonts-inconsolata
Afterwards enter the following command to build and install st (if necessary as root):
make clean install
NOTE concerning inconsolata font changes, recently it got bold font support and if you had hinstyle set to none it should not make any impact. Otherwise you may need to set it to none.
If you did not install st with make clean install, you must compile the st terminfo entry with the following command:
tic -s st.info
Run it with tmux:
st -e tmux
See the man page for additional details.
