Applescript to open specific Terminal Style Windows

Ok, so the thing is. I want to have different style terminal windows for each job. Each one will have a different job, i.e. , one will connect through ssh to a site, other window to other place, etc.

So I guess this could be done with some Applescripting?

The thing would be to have some applescripts that opens a different terminal window. And then add each applescript to a shortcut.

Any ideas?

Thanks :)

How about setting up a Window group in terminal ?

Open all Terminal windows you want --> Shell --> Show Inspector. Under Settings you can change the theme of each terminal window.

Window --> Save Windows as Group

In preferences set the startup option to display the group.

If you want to use Applescript to set a window's theme you first need to get the id's of all the themes you have using this applescript :

set a to {}
tell application "Terminal"
    repeat with i from 1 to count settings set
        set temp to {settings set i's name, settings set i's id}
        set end of a to temp
    end repeat
    a
end tell

This will output an array of id # and the theme's name. Next to create a new window use the following :

tell application "Terminal"
    set a to do script "" -- creates new window
    set a's current settings to (settings set id <one of the id #>)
end tell
