**st** is my patched build of [suckless st](https://st.suckless.org), a
simple terminal emulator for X.

## Patches

- Alpha (transparency).
- A custom color scheme.

## Installation

Building needs the Xlib headers. Edit `config.mk` for your setup (it installs
to `/usr/local` by default), then:

```
# make clean install
```

If you didn't install it that way, compile the terminfo entry:

```
$ tic -sx st.info
```

It is also available through the [pm user repository](pm-user-repository.md).
