Context

This article describes a function or feature of the software ZOC Terminal. The feature or element of the software described here is 'Window'. ZOC Terminal is a professional terminal emulator that is well known for its extensive features, security, user friendlyness, wide range of emulations and quality of emulation implementation. ZOC Terminal is a common choice to replace other terminal emulators like Putty, Kitty, Termius, Secure-CRT, Attachmate Extra!and others.

 

       
Window Title
 

This field contains the text that will be displayed in ZOC's window title bar. The text can contain placeholders which will be replaced with values depending on the current situation, e.g. ZOC %VERSION% %CONNECTEDTOHOST% %OPTIONS% or alternately %COMPUTERNAME% %CONNECTEDTOHOST% %OPTIONS%.

%CONNECTEDTOHOST%
 

The string "connected to " and the name of the remote host.

%COMPUTERNAME%
 

The name of your computer.

%HOST%
 

The name of the remote host (e.g. the name of the host directory entry).

%HOSTRAW%
 

The connect-to field (e.g. ip or hostname).

%INSTANCE%
 

The number of the currently open ZOC window.

%OPTIONS%
 

The name of the currently loaded session options file.

%VERSION%
 

The version number of ZOC.

%ZOCORHOST%
 

If not online the string "ZOC" or, if online, the name of the remote host.

%ZOCVERSORHOST%
 

Like %ZOCORHOST% but including the version number.


Allow Xterm emulation to modify the title
 

A remote host can send control sequences that add text to the window title, for example the current working directory. This option allows those sequences. The same sequence can also rename the session tab (see Program Settings→Tabs).

Maximized window border color
 

When the window is maximized, there will be an area that fills the gap between the terminal area and the window borders (this happens because there may be size restrictions for the layout of the terminal, see Session Profile→Layout/Font). Normally this area is drawn in a light gray, this option changes this to another color.

Extra border around terminal
 

This option draws a border around the terminal area to create a visual gap between the window border and the text. The color of the border is the same as the background color from the session profile.

Window Transparency
 

Setting this option to a value other than zero will make the program window partially transparent. Please be aware however, that with older graphics boards, this may add considerable strain on the CPU.

Light/Dark Mode
 

Choose System Default, Always Light Mode or Always Dark Mode for the program window.
