When compiled with XAW, ToME uses too many terms by default

[Lord Estraven]

Some Linux distros need ToME to be compiled with XAW to work properly. That's fine, except that when I click on the executable, it spams my screen with a dozen terms.

(And I prefer using only a single window, to boot.)

I know I can pass ToME the "-- -n1" option on the CLI, to limit the number of terms. But is there any config file I can change to set the *default* number of terms to 1? Opening a terminal whenever I want to play ToME is a little annoying.

You get 5 terminals by default. This just so happens to be perfect . 1 term for the main game, 1 for messages, 1 for monster recall, 1 for visible monsters and 1 for the inventory.

Yeah, like I said... I prefer 1 terminal.

I use a shell script... like this, note I like 3 terminals and don't use the default tiles so you may need to fiddle:

Code: Select all
