#Gnome terminal change cursor color how to
I also found this explanation on how to modify the console cursor in general. To get it to stop blinking in emacs, I followed these instructions. That solved the problem for everything except emacs, which continued to display a blinking white block cursor. My question is, is it possible to stop the cursor from blinking in a virtual terminal? Bow down before me, for my Google skills are infinitely superior to thine own. Thanks that did it.I've tried to google this numerous times over the years, and have never found an answer.

Nemo Nemo 1 1 gold badge 7 7 silver badges 9 9 bronze badges. So how do I make the cursor stop blinking? Isaiah 50k 24 24 gold badges silver badges bronze badges. Well, neither of those seems to be working now. I could have sworn that there was once a setting for this in the gnome-terminal "Profile". How do I disable the blinking cursor in gnome-terminal?

You can send an escape sequence to the terminal any POSIX compatible, I think setting the current cursor character using tput. Then I set the link value from True to False. Seems that the actual variable name changes every so often. I review this post on almost every single Gnome install. You can disable the blinking also from the command line gconf-editor is not installed by default. Ask Ubuntu is a question and answer site for Ubuntu users and developers.

Replace Theme-Name with the actual cursor theme name (the theme folder name) and save the file as cursor.theme inside the appropriate cursor theme's folder. If it is missing, create a 2-line file cursor.theme with a text editor: His terminal command won't work when replacing the cursor theme name with another if cursor.theme is missing from that new theme's folder, as it is a link target.

It seems many other mouse themes (mostly older ones) don't. His theme's folder contains a file named cursor.theme in addition to index.theme. What you want to get is the Bold-Knob folder within the inner tar.gz archive.)įor a different downloaded cursor, repeat the steps, and just substitute the cursor name in place of 'Bold-Knob' in his command.
#Gnome terminal change cursor color archive
(His download contains an archive within the archive. His cursor theme is a good one to try first.
#Gnome terminal change cursor color install
You can use this method to manually install a downloaded third-party cursor theme in Ubuntu Unity 11.10: Repeated all this with Ubuntu Tweak instead of Gnome Tweak. Logging out and back in does not change Unity's cursor to the downloaded one which was just selected in Gnome Tweak. The Unity cursor is still in play everywhere else (window border, desktop, panels, launcher, etc).
#Gnome terminal change cursor color windows
The new downloaded cursor works immediately within certain program windows as mentioned above. Using Gnome-tweak to select one of the downloaded cursors. Once you move outside those windows, onto the desktop, or even the window border to use the window controls, the cursor reverts to the one selected by the update-alternatives that is was in use by Unity. Using Gnome Tweak did allow us to use the downloaded theme, but only within certain windows, for example within Firefox, Libre Office and gedit. Just remember to log out and back again after changing the theme. Using any of the programs that give you the options to change themes, like Gnome-Tweak-Tool or Ubuntu Tweak, should work fine. Extracted the cursor theme files just into ~/.icons and select them from Lubuntu's Appearance dialog. They (Flatbed Cursors) work fine in Lubuntu 11.04 and 11.10, and work everywhere. Gnome Shell Desktop results were the same. I copied them into /usr/share/icons for good measure, and used Gnome Tweak tool (advanced settings) to select. I agree - I fired up my Unity test installation and I got the Flatbed Cursors to work partially - they functioned within Firefox and Libre Office at least, but as you say, in the file manager and elsewhere (such as the window controls) no go. A lot of people need this with poor eyesight. I downloaded and extracted the files but then what.I can get a small black cursor in firefox but all other places it is white. I don't know how to do the suggestion at I have tried all of the above and many other tries but nothing changes the size. This was a no brainer until 11.10 just pick a color and slide to size.
