If you do not like the default Terminal theme, you may want to + change the colors that are used for the text and background. You can use + colors from your theme, select one of the presets or use a custom scheme.

+ +
+ Use colors from your system theme + +

To use colors from the system theme:

+ + + +

Press the menu button in the top-right corner of the window and select + Preferences.

+ + +

In the sidebar, select your current profile in the Profiles + section.

+ + +

Select Colors.

+ + +

Check Use colors from system theme. The + changes will be applied automatically.

+ + + +
+ +
+ Built-in schemes + +

You can choose one of the built-in color schemes: Black on light + yellow, Black on white, Gray on black, + Green on black, White on black, Tango + light, Tango dark, Solarized light, + Solarized dark. To set any of the built-in schemes:

+ + + +

Press the menu button in the top-right corner of the window and select + Preferences.

+ + +

In the sidebar, select your current profile in the Profiles + section.

+ + +

Select Colors.

+ + +

Make sure that Use colors from system + theme is unchecked. Choose the desired color scheme from + Built-in schemes. Color scheme choices are applied + automatically.

+ +

Applications can choose to use a color from the palette rather + than the specified bold color.

+ + + + +
+ +
+ Custom color scheme + +

You can use custom colors for the text and background in + Terminal:

+ + + +

Press the menu button in the top-right corner of the window and select + Preferences.

+ + +

In the sidebar, select your current profile in the Profiles + section.

+ + +

Select Colors.

+ + +

Make sure that Use colors from system + theme is unchecked. Select Custom from the + Built-in schemes drop-down list.

+ + +

Click on the color you would like to change.

+ + +

Choose your desired color from the color sample and click + Select.

+

You can choose the desired color in the following ways:

+ + +

Input the hexadecimal color code in the input box.

+ + +

Drag the slider on the left to adjust the colors and click on + the desired color in the color selection area.

+ + +

Your changes will be saved automatically.

+ + + + +

You may also alter a color when you have chosen a built-in scheme by + clicking on the color sample block. Once changed, your selection in the + built-in scheme menu will change to Custom.

+ + + +

Traditionally terminal emulators offered a 16 color palette, this is + what you can alter here. Terminal supports an extended set of + 256 colors, but the additional 240 colors cannot be edited here.

+ +

Terminal even offers direct access to over 16 million + colors, this is called “true color” mode.

+ +

If the changes you make to the palette do not seem to have an effect, + presumably the contents you see consist of such extended palette colors + or true colors, rather than the 16 base colors.

+ + +
+ +
+ Bright colors for bold text + +

Traditionally terminals didn't clearly separate bold font weight from + intense colors, often both of them were enabled together. Recent + improvements, such as the introduction of true color support, and certain + color schemes (e.g. Solarized) made it desirable to separate the two + concepts, that is, make the brightness independent from the font weight.

+ +

In order to choose your preferred behavior:

+ + + +

Press the menu button in the top-right corner of the window and select + Preferences.

+ + +

In the sidebar, select your current profile in the Profiles + section.

+ + +

Select Colors.

+ + +

Disable Show bold text in bright colors for the new + default behavior, the complete separation of color intensity and font + weight; or enable this option for improved backward compatibility.
