Konsole 1.6.6 (TDE 14.1.0, so very old-fashioned compared to what now ships with KDE), with the “Transparent, Dark Background” built-in schema and Courier New font (since I’ve been using it as my preferred monospace font for so long that other options are distracting). Title bar and other widgets adopt my dark and weird system theme as they’re supposed to do.

On a seperate note, I’ve recently started using GNOME. I like it, but it’s really difficult to find a terminal emulator that matches the theming as far as title bar and window decorations go (Im not a fan of the GNOME console, it’s not as easily customisable as I’d like). They’ve all had white title bars which clash with my dark theming. The only one I’ve found that works nicely is Black Box, which I have been enjoying, but I can’t figure out how to blur the background (maybe I do this through the compositor prefs? I’ve tried setting it in blur my shell but it doesn’t seem to work), so i’d like more suggestions

I’ve tried Kitty and Alacritty, as those are the ones I’ve used in the past, along with Konsole, but that seems sacrilegious so I haven’t tried it with GNOME.

I’ll come back and post pics of my Konsole setup on my main rig in the spirit of the post once I get home :) I use fish and custom theming

I don’t know enough about titlebars on gnome to understand where your white issue is coming from, but one other to try is Wezterm.

Wezterm looks promising, I’ll give it a shot when I get home 👍👍

Manjaro. I love it’s simplicity and ease of use. It’s the closest I can get to Windows without actually using Windows. I’m glad it makes using an Arch distro easy and accessible. KDE is a godsend as well.

I use Emacs (and libvterm) for almost all my terminal’y needs 😅

In rare cases where I need a terminal outside Emacs, I use Alacritty.

Here’s the relevant config from ~/.config/alacritty/alacritty.yml:

Bash on Terminator with powerline theme from Oh-My-Bash. I think the colors are the generic Linux colors in Terminator.

rakstar , 1 year ago in Your best terminal aliases

Technically not aliases but I have these in my ~/.bash_aliases so…

bind ‘“\e[A”: history-search-backward’
bind ‘“\e[B”: history-search-forward’

Type a few letters and press up/down arrow to scroll through matching history entries.

Also…

alias s=“cd -”

It’s like Alt+Tab for CLI.

Nothing interesting it’s xfce-terminal with GreyBird. Simple, but it does the job.

somedaysoon , 1 year ago

Another XFCE Terminal user here, I use the Dark Pastels preset.

Arch.

I don’t love it, like at all. But it’s the least buggy and easiest to use one I’ve tried.

I really wish there was a simple plug and play, everything just works and doesnt break on updates distro.

fugepe , 1 year ago in Share Your Favorite Linux Distros and Why You Love Them

OpenSuse, Fedora second.

GustavoM , 1 year ago in ZorinOS?

That was my “entrypoint” distro to start fiddling with Linux. So I’d say, go for it until you are feeling confident enough to take the next step – Linux Mint.

ratherrisky , 1 year ago in KDE connect on xfce?

I use it for seeing/replying to texts on my desktop. It works great for that with xfce.

Started on SuSe, but Ubuntu stuck with me since the early releases… Just very familiar to me at this point. Been my goto os on my laptop for ages…

dannyboy5498 , 1 year ago in ZorinOS?

I had issues when I tried Zorin. I still think Mint is probably the best for a new user.
