mate-terminal: Proposed theme profile for improved ergonomics
One of the goal with Trisquel is to offer a computer accessibility. Common settings to prevent digital eye-straining, font-size 12, light background.
Default profile
Proposed profile
Font-size
These settings keep the default font and increase its size from 10 to 12:
gsettings set org.mate.terminal.profile:/org/mate/terminal/profiles/default/ use-system-font true
gsettings set org.mate.terminal.profile:/org/mate/terminal/profiles/default/ font 'Monospace Regular 12'Or use gsettings override:
"You can customize Mate via gsettings overrides. [For example]:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/mate-desktop/blob/rawhide/f/mate-fedora-f34.gschema.override
Such a file needs to be installed to %{_datadir}/glib-2.0/schemas/10_mate-fedora.gschema.override" - https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-terminal/issues/440#issuecomment-1644414336
- The default font-size for gnome-terminal in Ubuntu 22.04, and 23.04, is 12 so there's nothing to file.
- The default font-size for mate-terminal in Ubuntu MATE 22.04 is 10. Upstream issue: I have proposed the Ubuntu team to increase it to 12: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mate-terminal/+bug/2028295
- mate-terminal (unpackaged): [Mate terminal use system settings or monospace 12.]https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-terminal/issues/440#issuecomment-1644414336)
Background color
White or slightly off-white screens are often recommended to avoid eye-straining for day-time use. Dark background might be better for nighttime use for some people. However, most people are using their computers during the day.
This setting will disable the default colors and switch to black fg with light yellow bg:
gsettings set org.mate.terminal.profile:/org/mate/terminal/profiles/default/ use-theme-colors false
- The default background color in Ubuntu MATE 22.04 is white.
- The default background color in Ubuntu 22.04, and 23.04, is tyrian purple-ish (very dark). Upstream issues: I have proposed the Ubuntu team to change it to light-purple: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/2028301
