If you search with google, you will find that many agree with you, and that someone has found configurations for mrxvt which look almost the same but are *much* less resource hungry. My hardware and I cannot permit ourself to run kde/gnome/xfce/... applications, except for a brief testing. These are some of the best combinations I have found. But my eyes still found them sensibly worse than vt console. #!/bin/sh LANG=en_US ; export LANG #mrxvt -bg black -fg white -geometry 99x37-0+1 \ exec mrxvt -geometry 100x37-0+1 \ -stt -rv -sr -sl 2000 \ -tabfg blue -tabbg grey \ -itabfg black -itabbg "dark gray" \ -fb -xos4-terminus-bold-r-normal--16-160-72-72-c-80-iso10646-1 \ -fn -misc-console-medium-r-normal--16-160-72-72-c-80-iso10646-1 \ "$@" #!/bin/sh LANG=en_US ; export LANG exec xvt -bg blue -fg yellow -geometry 100x37-0+1 \ -fb -xos4-terminus-bold-r-normal--16-160-72-72-c-80-iso10646-1 \ -fn -misc-console-medium-r-normal--16-160-72-72-c-80-iso10646-1 \ "$@" #!/bin/sh LANG=en_US ; export LANG exec rxvt -bg black -fg white -geometry 100x37-0+1 \ -fb -xos4-terminus-bold-r-normal--16-160-72-72-c-80-iso10646-1 \ -fn -misc-console-medium-r-normal--16-160-72-72-c-80-iso10646-1 \ "$@" #!/bin/sh LANG=en_US.UTF-8 ; export LANG exec /usr/local/bin/urxvt.sarge \ -bg black -fg white -geometry 100x37 \ -fn '-misc-console-medium-r-normal--16-160-72-72-c-80-iso10646-1','-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--15-140-75-75-c-90-iso10646-1' \ -fb -xos4-terminus-bold-r-normal--16-160-72-72-c-80-iso10646-1 \ "$@" #!/bin/sh LANG=en_US.UTF-8 ; export LANG exec xterm -bg black -fg white -geometry 88x33 \ -fn -Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--18-120-100-100-C-90-ISO10646-1 \ "$@" #!/bin/sh LANG=en_US ; export LANG exec xvt -bg black -fg green -geometry 100x37-0+1 \ -fb -xos4-terminus-bold-r-normal--16-160-72-72-c-80-iso10646-1 \ -fn -misc-console-medium-r-normal--16-160-72-72-c-80-iso10646-1 \ "$@" -- Chi usa software non libero avvelena anche te.
