Try launching it with a different TERM: $ TERM=xterm myapp. toe(1) will give

you a list of available terminals, but you’ll most likely switch between xterm,

st or st-256color. The default value for TERM can be changed in config.h

(TNAME).

## Why do images not work in st (in programs such as w3m)?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This is a terrible hack that overdraws an image on top of the terminal emulator
|
||||||
|
window. It also relies on a very specific way the terminal draws it's contents.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A more proper (but limited way) would be using sixels. Which st doesn't
|
||||||
|
support.
