How do I get to this dialog box?

  1. Open a terminal session.

    The steps depend on your user interface mode.

Theme files control the colors, shape of the cursor, and other details about the appearance of your terminal sessions. When you create a terminal session document, it includes a pointer to a default, built-in theme file. You can choose a different theme file for each session, and create custom theme files with the settings you prefer.

Option Description
Select another theme file Click to choose a different theme file from a list of existing theme files. The file must be in a trusted location.
Modify the currently selected theme file Select to modify the theme file used by this session. Because built-in files are read-only, if the currently selected file is a built-in file, it will be saved as a custom file when you change it.
