I put the following to my .zshrc
if [[ $STY = '' ]] then screen -xR; fi
I get Bash when I start terminal now, although I have /bin/zsh at Terminal > Settings in Mac.
Which variable do I need to change to make Zsh my login shell in Screen?

A:
A fast way to change your shell, for example to Zsh, is to run the following code
chsh -s /bin/zsh

SHELL=/bin/zsh screen
should work, i. e. set the environment variabe $SHELL

@mihi: It seems that the difference with your command to chsh -command is that your command makes the shell temporarily zsh, while chsh makes it as long as you run another chsh -command.

yeah, right. The difference is what happens to your normal login shell. There are cases where some remote tools that log you in via ssh require a bash or ksh shell, so you cannot globally change your shell. You can still open a screen with zsh's in it (in fact, you can also open a shell with for example Midnight Commanders in it) with this method.
