List profiles
dconf dump /org/gnome/terminal/legacy/profiles:/
Determine the terminal profile string for the profile you will need. This is the terminal profile that I will export:
[:1430663d-083b-4737-a7f5-8378cc8226d1]
foreground-color='#C3C3C7C7D1D1'
visible-name='Material Colors'
palette=['#070736364141', '#EBEB60606B6B', '#C3C3E8E88D8D', '#F7F7EBEB9595', '#8080CBCBC3C3', '#FFFF24249090', '#AEAEDDDDFFFF', '#FFFFFFFFFFFF', '#00002B2B3636', '#EBEB60606B6B', '#C3C3E8E88D8D', '#F7F7EBEB9595', '#7D7DC6C6BFBF', '#6C6C7171C3C3', '#343443434D4D', '#FFFFFFFFFFFF']
default-size-columns=100
default-size-rows=28
use-system-font=false
use-theme-colors=false
font='Source Code Pro 10'
allow-bold=false
bold-color-same-as-fg=true
bold-color='#FFFFFFFFFFFF'
background-color='#1E1E28282C2C'
audible-bell=false
scrollbar-policy='never'
And the string that I will need to use to export is
:1430663d-083b-4737-a7f5-8378cc8226d1
The command to export that profile is (note the ending slash)
dconf dump /org/gnome/terminal/legacy/profiles:/:1430663d-083b-4737-a7f5-8378cc8226d1/ > material-theme-profile.dconf
To restore the profile
dconf load /org/gnome/terminal/legacy/profiles:/:1430663d-083b-4737-a7f5-8378cc8226d1/ < material-theme-profile.dconf
If you want to edit some configuration from terminal, you can use the command:
dconf write /org/gnome/terminal/legacy/profiles:/YOUR_PROFILE_ID/PROPERTY_NAME "'New value'"
When:
YOUR_PROFILE_IDis your profile ID ¯\(ツ)/¯;PROPERTY_NAMEis the name of the property you want to change;New valueis the new value for the property.
Example: let's see you want to update font configuration. Let's set Fira Mono for font face, and 12 for font size. Just use the command:
dconf write /org/gnome/terminal/legacy/profiles:/:1430663d-083b-4737-a7f5-8378cc8226d1/font "'Fira Mono for Powerline Regular 12'"
Whoa, Thank you.
I'd prefer not to constantly worry about potential changes to the Gogh upstream palette.
