how to configure terminal's size and location

  • 772

I am running Ubuntu precise. I usually rely on the ALT-CTRL-T shortcut to open a new terminal. However the location is pops up as well as its size are not very convenient and I have to subsequently use the mouse to drag/resize the terminal. Is there a way to configure the terminal's initial size and location?

command-line

    I you right klick in your terminal window, select Profiles > Default profile. You should be able to edit your terminal's default size there.

    To change the way new windowa appear, you should use ccsm.

    sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager

    Run ccsm, scroll down to the plugin called "place windows" or something, click it and you'll get access to the settings.
