Reset Visor's window height with customized Terminal.app
Authored by: Sensei on Feb 22, '07 11:08:09AM
I found another way to implement this that is more compatible with the comment by mithras on the Pick of the week page that uses a hacked copy of Terminal.app to hide it from the Dock and the application switcher. The problem is you would have to modify and recompile visor-fix to target the new app (probably not hard for some, but I don't know how to do it) and the new app has no menu interface, so you can't use the window settings. So, I added this to my .profile:

alias quit='defaults write com.apple.VisorTerminal
    VisorTerminal -dict-add 'Rows' '15'; killall Terminal'

(all on one line)

This also gives a good way to quit Visor, since it has no menu interface, by simply typing quit. This way, every time you quit VisorTerminal.app with the command line, the number of lines is reset. It does have the side effect of quitting the regular Terminal.app if you have it running, but I haven't figured out a fix for that yet since my VisorTerminal.app shows up simply as 'Terminal' in Activity Monitor.app.
