Public bug reported: * 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). A dark background will cause eye-straining on day time use.
This will turn off the default theme and use a light-purple background instead: profile_key=$(gsettings get org.gnome.Terminal.ProfilesList default | sed -e "s/'//g" | tr -d "\n") gsettings set org.gnome.Terminal.Legacy.Profile:/org/gnome/terminal/legacy/profiles:/:$profile_key/ use-theme-colors false gsettings set org.gnome.Terminal.Legacy.Profile:/org/gnome/terminal/legacy/profiles:/:$profile_key/ background-color "'rgb(255,224,255)'" ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 23.04 Package: gnome-terminal 3.48.0-1ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 6.2.0-20.20-generic 6.2.6 Uname: Linux 6.2.0-20-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.26.1-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: unknown CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Thu Jul 20 17:06:24 2023 InstallationDate: Installed on 2023-04-23 (87 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 23.04 "Lunar Lobster" - Release amd64 (20230418) ProcEnviron: LANG=en_US.UTF-8 PATH=(custom, no user) SHELL=/bin/bash TERM=xterm-256color XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> SourcePackage: gnome-terminal UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: gnome-terminal (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug lunar wayland-session -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2028301 Title: Feature request: Use dark text on a bright background Status in gnome-terminal package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: * 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).
