How do I set preferences for the Guake Terminal?

  • 772

Just installed guake - terminal emulator.

How can I get to preferences to customize it?

I don't seem to have any if the normal menu's available.

I searched everything on their help site to no avail.

I use Ubuntu 11 (now Ubuntu 16 in 2016)

command-line

    Guake preferences can also be set via a separate program.

    1. Start it from the HUD:

      --> screenshot

    2. OR, press Alt+F2 and type guake-prefs and press Enter

    3. OR, open a terminal and type guake-prefs
