Ubuntu Gnome Terminal Customization

Here I share my Ubuntu Gnome Terminal customization as a reference for anyone having same taste and/or requirements as me.

Customized Look and Feel

Set Text & Background Color

1. Right click on Terminal and select Profiles → Profiles Preferences.
2. Switch to Colors tab.
3. Uncheck Use colors from system theme.
4. Select Custom for Built-in schemes.
5. Set Text color to #EEEEEC
6. Set Background color to #222222
7. Click on Close button.

Enable Colored Terminal

Open the bashrc using this command:

gedit ~/.bashrc

Uncomment the line: (Remove the leading #)

force_color_prompt=yes

Modify the line after if [ “$color_prompt” = yes ]; then as below if you do not like bold fonts (Optional):

PS1=’${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[00;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[00;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$ ‘

Save and close the gedit.

Change the Color of Terminal Tabs

Open the gtk.css using the following commad:

gedit ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css

Add the following content at the end of the file:

TerminalWindow .notebook tab {
 padding: 2;
 background-color: #6e6e6e;
}
TerminalWindow .notebook tab:active {
 background-color: #d1d1d1;
}

Save and close the gedit
