chris-tux Posted May 24, 2004 Report Share Posted May 24, 2004 How can I preset the size of a gnome-terminal window ? I can't find how to use the geometry option with gnome 2.4 tia chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted May 24, 2004 Report Share Posted May 24, 2004 gnome-terminal -g 80x35+0+0 is that something like what you are doing? If you want it there at login, just get it the size and position you want it and in the terminal do; gnome-session-save you should then get a popup.

bvc Posted May 25, 2004 Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 no need to feel stupid! so are you saying you figured it out? gnome-terminal --geometry 80x35+0+0 run that in the run dialog or a terminal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qchem Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 If you want to always start gnome terminals with the same geometry you could use an alias in one of your bash startup files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
