Unfortunately you can&#8217;t load Terminal settings files on the fly. However, you can load new terminal windows with different settings in two ways:<br \/>\n1) Let&#8217;s say you saved your settings file to <code>\/boot\/home\/SkyTerminal_23<\/code>. Now open up the \/boot\/home\/config\/settings folder and find the file called <code>Terminal<\/code>. Rename it to <code>Terminal.old<\/code>. Then copy <code>\/boot\/home\/ SkyTerminal23<\/code> to <code>\/boot\/home\/config\/settings\/Terminal<\/code>.<br \/>\n Close and restart Terminal and your settings file will be retrieved. If this is something you might want to do often, download the <a HREF=\"\/software\/\">TermSet<\/a> shell script, which will allow you to retrieve all of your alternate settings files from the command line by simply typing &#8222;termset colorname.&#8220; It will also allow you to run multiple Terminal windows in different colors, for quick identification.<br \/>\n2) If you save multiple Terminal settings files in a directory, you can simply double-click the settings files to launch a Terminal with those parameters. You might want to create a link to this folder on your Desktop for easy access. Remember that you can also toggle between your open Terminal windows with Alt+G!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You&#8217;ve probably noticed the option under the Terminal Settings menus labeled &#8222;Save As Settings File.&#8220; So you can tweak out the perfect Terminal configuration and save it as a settings file for a quick future reference.
