[Desktop-packages] [Bug 2050908] Re: Prefences does not work properly on new profiles

2024-01-23 Thread John Collins
I think the selection of colours in the palette should actually precede the bit to change the colours on the profile in the tab to set colours for the profile if you need to fiddle with that first. It nowhere actually explicitly says, in the "Help" documentation, something to the effect "having

Thanks for your help. I think I understand it now in that I've got all the colours I want for my profiles. I do think that the Help for gnome-terminal might possibly be a bit clearer. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to

Confession that I didn't notice the checkbox in front of the grayed out font option. I created a new profile by pressing the + sign. It does seem to work better if I "clone" a profile I've discovered. However with the colours there still seems to be a problem whatever I do with the checkboxes.

Well I tried doing all that with disabling the icons. It does remove the icons, but the background is still overlaid with opaque black. It didn't do anything immediately but it did after I logged in - just removed the icons. The directory ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions wasn't there. Mind

Looking at your second answer first, I tried the "gsettings list- recursively ..." but it didn't give any output. That might be because I'd previously fixed the file to be world-readable after I'd noticed the messages in the journal. I've tried turning off world-readability but the messages
