= VT Style Display =

Users of jervt transitioning to barnowl may find barnowl's default formatting to be wasteful of screen real estate, especially on wide terminals. With a few quick configuration changes, BarnOwl's display can be set to emulate vt's output fairly closely.

 == Style Template ==

Download the attached style template perl file and place it in your .owl directory. 

 == Startup Script Updates ==

Append the following settings into your .owl/startup script (or create it if it doesn't exist):


{{{
#minimize the input space
set typewindelta 1
set typewinsize 1

#owl users prefer that zephyrs get sent in tiny chunks
set edit:maxwrapcols 80

#import the style template
perl do "~/.owl/styletemplate.pl"

#set the style template to be the default style.
set default_style mystyle
}}}
