How to change the background color of gnome-terminal?


How to change the background color? I selected Profile > Background > solid color, but where can I select the color?


Solution

  • Since it seems to be Terminal you're talking about, did you disable "Use colors from system theme" under Colors? Once you do that, you can pick a background color, still under the Colors tab. The Background tab looks like it only allows selecting an image (or transparency), which tripped me up as well.
