Wih!!! udah lama banget saya nggak pakai Terminator… dulu seneng banget pake fitur split layar terminal…
nice tutorial. seems to be more complete than the manpages. however, the horrible desktop background makes the images extremely difficult to view.
how to set background image as a whole? when i creatte smaller partitions, it creates a separate background picture for each section but i want the background picture to fill the whole terminator window
Wah keren ini pake bahasa Inggris, saya pernah nulis Terminator ini pake Bahasa Indonesia di http://www.mobile-article.com, tapi yang punya Om Taufan Lubis ini lebih lengkap dan detail informasinya…keren nih.. salam kenal yah, saya mah masih newbie Linux.
