[solved] Internal padding in gnome-terminal

Hi there,

Is there a way to define an internal padding in gnome-terminal of Gnome 3.8?

The output is too close to the window borders and I would like to have them placed a bit more inside.

At the moment it looks like that: http://i.imgur.com/QlVPrFf.png

Thanks!

EDIT:

To move the terminal output away from the window borders create the stylesheet ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css with the following setting:

   TerminalScreen {
     -VteTerminal-inner-border: 10px 10px 10px 10px;
   }

Re: [solved] Internal padding in gnome-terminal

On most recent Gnome 3.16 we need to create the stylesheet ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css with the following setting:

VteTerminal,
TerminalScreen {
    padding: 10px 10px 10px 10px;
    -VteTerminal-inner-border: 10px 10px 10px 10px;
}

Hi arthurbailao, welcome to the Arch Linux forums.

Please take a moment to read the forum etiquette. In particular, there's no need to repost the wiki on two year old solved threads, doing so is considered necrobumping.
