I was able to fix this for all users by modifying /etc/xdg/xfce4/xfconf /xfce-perchannel-xml/xsettings.xml. I changed:
- <property name="ThemeName" type="string" value="Greybird"/> - <property name="IconThemeName" type="string" value="elementary-xfce-dark"/> + <property name="ThemeName" type="string" value="Adwaita"/> + <property name="IconThemeName" type="string" value="Tango"/> There is no "Greybird" theme on my system nor can I find one in the repositories. The file is in the xfce4-settings package, but I wonder why gnome-terminal (or gtk) isn't reverting to something sensible when a non-existent theme is chosen. -- 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/980710 Title: black font on black background in xfce terminal Status in “gnome-terminal” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Fresh 12.04 beta 2 install, added gnome, xfce4 and synaptic, all packages up to , didn't customize any settings yet Loging in with xfce as session type, picking "Terminal Emulator" from the XFCE menu.
