termprofset - manipulate the profiles of a Gnome or Tilix terminal, or the font setting of an XFCE4 terminal
termprofset [-f fontname] [-s fontsize] [-p profile] [-K socket] [-gklBRStxu]
The termprofset command can be used to set or restore profile settings of a Gnome or Tilix terminal emulator, or the font setting of a Kitty or XFCE4 terminal emulator. Profile settings that can be configured by termprofset are:
- font (font name and font size)
- use-system-font
- audible-bell
- use-theme-colors
- background-color
- foreground-color
When setting the profile of a terminal, the following settings are used:
- font 'Monospace 4'
- use-system-font false
- audible-bell false
- use-theme-colors false
- background-color '#000000'
- foreground-color '#AFAFAF'
The font name and font size can be specified on the command line using the -f fontname and -s fontsize options. Background color and transparency in xfce4-terminal can be set with the -B color option.
In addition to setting profile settings or font setting, termprofset can be used to save or restore profile settings or font setting saved from a previous invocation. Use the -S command line option to save the current profile or configuration settings of a terminal emulator. Use the -R command line option to indicate restore saved profile settings or font setting. In this way, termprofset can be used to manipulate a profile or font temporarily. Display ascii art with a customized profile or font then restore the original profile or font settings.
Current profile or font settings can be listed with the -l option.
The termprofset command is used by the show_ascii_art command when
displaying Ascii Art. During Ascii Art displays the font size is manipulated
to produce higher resolution character graphics during art display while
setting the font size higher for Figlet text display. The font sizes used
in this command can be controlled via the art_font_size and txt_font_size
values in $HOME/.config/asciiville/config. Default font sizes are 4 and 20.
