Ubuntu - Make Terminal Look Like Green Black Matrix Style Command Line and Transparent
Submitted by ingram on Fri, 01/18/2013 - 10:43pm



By default, Ubuntu has a rather boring terminal. It features a solid purple background, no transparency, and white text. To make it look matrix style with green on black text and a transparent window, follow these steps:
Open a terminal window:
Click on Edit > Profile Preferences:
On the Colors tab, uncheck "Use colors from the system theme" and then select Green on Black from the "Built-in Schemes" list:
On the Background tab, select "Transparent Background" and adjust the slider bar to your preferred level of transparency:
You now have a transparent, green on black, matrix style terminal window!

If you had to use google to figure this out, you really shouldn't be using Linux IMHO
