Description Christian Persch 2009-12-03 17:55:57 UTC 
Put this in ~/.gtkrc-2.0:

style "terminal" { VteTerminal::inner-border = { 20, 20, 20, 20 } } class "*" style "terminal"

(one line), then start vteapp with "--cursor-shape ibeam" (or "underline).

Results:
Cursor doesn't show up or draws at the wrong position. When the prompt is on the last line of the terminal (e.g. after a ls in a full dir), this is esp. noticeable as the cursor shows in the inner border area.

Fixed.  Now lemme see if I can make it respect cursor aspect ratio and color from the style also.  Try with:

style "cursor" { 
        GtkWidget::cursor-aspect-ratio = 0.1 
        GtkWidget::cursor-color = "#c00040" 
        bg[SELECTED] = "#859fb8" 
} 
class "*" style "cursor"
