Modify Xfce Terminal cursor
Posted: 2018-06-05 Filed under: system | Tags: blink, cursor, terminal, terminalrc, underline, xfce Leave a commentI’ve always liked to have my terminal cursor as a blinking underline. This feature is present for the new Xfce Terminal that ships with Slackware -current. Unfortunately it cannot be enabled from the preferences of Xfce Terminal in Slackware 14.2. It is, however, possible to set it by modifying the config file of the program.
On my Slackware 14.2 system, I opened ~/.config/xfce4/terminal/terminalrc
and modified these two lines as follows:
[Configuration] ColorCursor=#ffffffffffff MiscAlwaysShowTabs=FALSE MiscBell=FALSE MiscBordersDefault=TRUE MiscCursorBlinks=TRUE MiscCursorShape=TERMINAL_CURSOR_SHAPE_UNDERLINE MiscDefaultGeometry=80x24 MiscInheritGeometry=FALSE MiscMenubarDefault=FALSE MiscMouseAutohide=FALSE MiscToolbarDefault=FALSE MiscConfirmClose=TRUE MiscCycleTabs=TRUE MiscTabCloseButtons=TRUE MiscTabCloseMiddleClick=TRUE MiscTabPosition=GTK_POS_TOP MiscHighlightUrls=TRUE ScrollingBar=TERMINAL_SCROLLBAR_NONE FontName=Terminus 10
That’s it!
