  The initial title can also substitute some tokens, see the section called „To change the terminal title“ for more information.

Dynamically-set title

  Use this drop-down list to specify how to handle dynamically-set titles, that is, terminal titles set by the commands that run in the terminal.

Run command as login shell

  Select this option to force Terminal to run your shell as a login shell when you open new terminals. See the documentation of your shell for details about differences between running it as interactive shell and running it as login shell.

  Use this drop-down list to specify the position of the scrollbar in terminal windows.

Scrollback

### Appearance

Font

  Click on the button to select the font type and font size you want to use for the terminal.

  Use the option Enable anti-aliasing for the terminal font to control whether you want Terminal to use anti-aliasing when rendering text in the terminals. Disabling this option can impressively speed up terminal rendering performance and reduce the overall system load on slow systems.

  The option Allow bold text controls whether Terminal allows the application running inside to use bold text or not. If disabled, all text will appear in the selected font, else certain text will appear in bold face.

Pozadina

  Select a background for the terminal window. The options are as follows:

  None (use solid color)

    Select this option to use the background color that is specified in the Colors section as the background color for the terminal.

    Use the Style option to control the appearance of the background image. Terminal supports tiling, centering, scaling and stretching background images.

  Transparent background

    Select this option to use a transparent background for the terminal.

  If you have selected Background image or Transparent background, you can use the slider Shade transparent or image background to shade or dim the background of the terminal.

### Colors

Foreground and Background

  The two buttons labelled with Text and cursor color allow to select the color Terminal uses to draw normal text and the color for the text cursor. An application running inside the terminal can also request a different color chosen from the palette below to draw text.

  Click on the Background color button to choose the default background for terminal windows. This color is also used in background tinting when Transparent background or Background image is selected.

Text Selection

  Select the background color to use when selecting text in a terminal window. You can either specify a custom color or stick to the default color.

Paleta

  The terminal provides the application running inside with a palette of 16 colors. You can customize these colors using the 16 color buttons.

### Shortcuts

Shortcut keys

  The Shortcut keys section of the dialog lists the shortcut keys that are defined for each menu item. The shortcut keys enable you to use the keyboard to choose a menu item rather than use the mouse. A shortcut key can be any non-modifier key or any combination of a non-modifier key and several modifier keys, where modifier keys are Alt, Ctrl and the like.

  To change a shortcut key for a menu item, double click the item in the list and press the key combination you want to set. To disable a shortcut for a specific menu item, double click the menu item in the list and click the button Clear.

Disable all menu access keys (such as Alt+f)

  Select this option to disable the access keys that are defined to enable you to use keyboard instead of the mouse to select a menu item. Each access key is identified by an underlined letter on a menu or dialog option. In some cases, you must press the Alt key in combination with the access key to perform the action.

Disable menu shortcut key (F10 by default)

  Select this option to disable the shortcut key that is defined to enable you to access the Terminal menus. The default shortcut key to access the menus is F10.

### Advanced

Backspace key generates

  Use the drop-down list to select the function that you want the Backspace key to perform.

Delete key generates

  Use the drop-down list to select the function that you want the Delete key to perform.

$TERM setting

  This specifies the value the `$TERM` environment variable is set to, when a new terminal tab or terminal window is opened. The default should be ok for most systems. If you have problems with colors in some applications or if you think that a certain application behaves oddly, try `xterm-color` here. If you have problems with ncurses 5.6 or later you could also try `xfce`.

Reset compatibility options to defaults

  Click this button to reset the options on the Compatibility tabbed section to its defaults settings.

Double click

  Use this text box to specify characters or groups of characters that Terminal considers to be words when you select text by word.
