Terminal background

Just simple cosmetics for all the Terminal users out there. Open Terminal and drag an image into a window while holding down the Alt (Option) key.

You just go to Application Settings... and choose the Color tab. From here you can add a background image or remove it, set the transparency, etc.

Great tips, it looks great! But how do I keep these settings for the next time I launch the Terminal application? Thanks.

To keep it always looking pretty go to:

Terminal > Window Settings... > Display > Use Settings as Defaults
