XUbuntu - change default Terminal windows size/layout

  • 772

Can someone help how to change default Terminal windows size in XUbuntu?

After some surfing, I found instructions for Gnome. Maybe I don't understand, but XUbuntu doesn't use Gnome?

Thanks in advance.

  1. You can configure your terminal behavior

    • 13.10 and below: ~/.config/Terminal/terminalrc
    • 14.04 and onwards: ~/.config/xfce4/terminal/terminalrc

    Use the MiscDefaultGeometry option

    [Configuration]
MiscDefaultGeometry=132x24

    To perform a "visual" adaptation, resize the terminal window to the desired size then use stty size to determine the current window size.

    For additional information see

    http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/oneiric/man1/xfce4-terminal.1.html http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/oneiric/man7/X.7.html

    On that last page, on X, scroll down to the geometry section.
