xcalc

xcalc
is a
scientific calculator
for the
X Window System
.
Installation
Install
the
xorg-xcalc
package.
Configuration
There are several options you can set in your
X resources
files to make xcalc look much better than the default black text on white background. The position, label, function and colour can be individually changed for each button. See
xcalc(1) § CUSTOMIZATION
for more information.
Theming
xcalc has a built in theme emulating the looks of a
Texas Instruments TI-30
. See
xcalc(1) § COLORS
on how to enable it.
If you just want some nicer looking colours, you can try out this theme.
