I am working with multiple terminal windows and I'd like to change them so I can keep them straight. The preferences for the terminal application change the background color of all terminal windows.

I am getting a grey/white overlay when using commands that take up the entire terminal like nmon and bmon. The first image is iterm2 and the second is the base macos terminal app, both running nmon.
It is not the transparency settings as I have already disabled those, not sure what setting to change to fix this.
When using any dark scheme, the directories in the terminal have green background which is very unreadable.
With light scheme it is Ok. But you cannot change the scheme separately for editor area and terminal, although they are asking if you want this in the dialog window.

I'm using putty (terminal emulator, serial console). Every time I use it I need to change the font size and background color in setting. Is there any script that I can run so that all settings will be changed automatically? Is it possible for me to change them through scripts?
If it is on Windows then
Start it from a shortcut
While the window is still open.
Right click on the Caption bar
Select Properties
Select Font and Colour tabs to change the respective properties
And Press OK
I am pretty new to the fish shell and am having difficulties with configuration on OS X Yosemite.
In particular, I can run fish_config and set foreground colors, but not the background colors. This is true when using the Mac Terminal app, and also iTerm2.
Is the ability to set the background expected behavior? And does fish_config play well / interfere with Oh My Fish? (I currently to not have it installed).
Thanks!
The shell cannot set the background color, only your terminal app can. The background colors in fish_config are like a preview.
To set the background color in Terminal.app, go to Preferences->Profiles->Window and set Background. In iTerm2, go to Preferences->Profiles->Colors, and set Background.
Hope that helps!
I am looking for a tool that can 'stick' the OS X terminal app to the desktop background. I want it to be below the desktop icons, on top or instead of the background image.
I am using the terminal through out the day, from time to time. But I don't really need it for ongoing tasks, only to check something very fast. So having an active corner that shows the desktop would be the ideal guesture to reveal the terminal.
GeekTool has the ability to present the output of a terminal command on a desktop, however, I haven't been able to type something into the terminal overlay, GeekTool is showing. Is there any other tool, that could achieve that?
You can use the stock Script Editor app to save the following script as an application (.app file):
tell application "Terminal"
do script "cd ~/Desktop"
end tell
You can edit the script above to specify the directory you want the new window to use by default.
Once you've created your .app file you can put it on your desktop and conveniently double click it to open a new terminal window.
