Setting a Default
There are two ways to set a chosen theme as a default:
Option One: Edit Terminator Config Manually
Once you install a theme it's stored in Preferences > Profiles. To change an installed theme to the default one open ~/.config/terminator/config
and replace the [[default]]
theme with your preferred theme under the [profiles]
setting. (thanks @jacsmith21)
Option Two: Use the GUI
If you do not want to deal with the modification of the configuration file, you can do the following:
- Go to
Preferences
- Choose the
Layouts
tab. - Choose your preferred layout.
- Choose the layout terminal (in the next column).
- Choose you preferred profile.
Additionally in order to reuse your new selected profile in the new terminals (avoid selecting the profile in each split) open preferences > global
and check the 'Re-use profiles for new terminals'
option.
