change window title in terminal
 

how do you change the title for all the terminal windows. i take alot of screenshots and it would be much more simple to have it not display my system name than to always open in gimp and blur it out.

I hope that I undestand your question correctly. You didn't
really say what kind of terminal window you had in mind.
For an xterm, you can do that with a command line option,
and I presume that there's an analogoous feature for, say, a
Kterm or for a Gnome terminal window.

Here's a section from the xterm man page.

ya, i think that you are understanding me correctly. and all terminals display the same window title on my machine. but i tried xterm -title sandman and the same window title appears. i will read the man more but that was what i read from the man and couldn't get it to do what i wanted. thanks for the fast reply.

Heres how i start my aterm:
aterm -tr -trsb -ls -rv -fn nexus -fb nexus -title "Slackware Terminal" -sl 10000
The -title bit is relevant to your problem. If you want the title to be more than one word, you have to include it in " ". Also try specifying both -title and -name. I think that's what i had to do in Eterms.
