Bug Description
Binary package hint: roxterm
SecureCRT and "Multi Gnome Terminal" (seems to be adandonware at http://
This is really handy when using many terminals to connect to remote hosts via SSH (indicator when beuufer changes on connection lost), or to run long jobs (e.g. rsync), but still get a clue when they finish.
It would be awesome if something like that could be added to roxterm. Perhaps the "X" to close the tab could change color, or maybe just color the tab or font, whatever.
PS--I just ran across roxterm and I like it much better than gnome-terminal. Also,zero open bugs is awesome! (Well, until this one... Sorry... :)
Can you get ssh etc to beep at the crucial moment? If a beep/bell goes off in an inactive tab there's an option to make the label flash (and in the next release, to set an inactive window's urgency hint).
Otherwise I think this is a good idea. To make sure I'm thinking of the right thing: you want the label to clearly change appearance (but not flash because it isn't as urgent as a beep) if there's text output in an inactive tab, then change back to normal when you select it?
Personally I think I'd like it to change to bold text.
