I would like to set the Max OS X Terminal theme for Ubuntu Terminal. I really like the fonts and the colors. This is how the Mac Terminal does look:





Image source




There are few things that I want to see in the Ubuntu Terminal:




  • I want to replace username@desktop:~/Dropbox$ with the username and the computer name in this format: desktop:Dropbox username$


  • I want to change the Terminal font to look like in the Mac terminal.


  • I want to change the color scheme to be like the Mac terminal color scheme.



Is this possible? How?





Note that I don't want to change the Ubuntu theme. I use Unity with default theme, but I want to change only the terminal settings because it's the most used application by me.

Intall Monaco font. You can run this in Terminal:

Warning: You may have issues with this font in browser. This is discussed here.



Then set the Terminal font to use Monacao: go to Edit -> Profile Preferences and change the font:
