# Setting default terminal settings for a TemplateVM
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When you create a VM based on a TemplateVM, the `gnome-terminal` settings (font, color) are not inherited by default. This document describes how to set terminal defaults for all VMs *subsequently* created off a TemplateVM.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(Previously-created VMs are unaffected.)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This document only applies to `gnome-terminal` (the standard terminal)
|
||
|
|
and not XTerm, etc.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Thanks to `unman` on qubes-users for explaining how to do this.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Define your defaults
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In dom0:
|
||
|
|
`qvm-run MYTEMPLATE gnome-terminal`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In the terminal that pops up, adjust settings to your liking.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Save settings template-wide
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In the templateVM's terminal:
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
sudo mkdir -p /etc/skel/.config/dconf
|
||
|
|
sudo cp ~/.config/dconf/user /etc/skel/.config/dconf/
|
||
|
|
sudo reboot
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Subsequently-created VMs should now use the chosen settings by default.
