This part of your message I do not understand. What is the "context menu in Yakuake"?
It the menu you get by right-clicking in Yakuake terminal.
I was not aware of this possibility. I think I was really expecting a tool bar such as appears in Konsole. Since yakuake does not have one I I did not believe that yakuake had a context menu. Thanks for telling me about it.
It allows you to set fonts, colours, etc. Once you've done that you need to select "Save as default" from the menu. An alternative is to select "Use Konsole settings" to have Yakuake always mimic Konsole settings (as the option name implies).
Indeed. I was able to select my desired colour scheme.
I tried the following script, called "yakuake-start", in directory ~/.trinity/Autostart:
#!/bin/bash yakuake --bg black -- fg green cd ~
and unchecked the "restore previous session" option described above. On log in yakuake started but the colour options were ignored.
I actually know nothing about these command-line color options - can't help here.
Furthermore, the cd command was also ignored; yakuake opened in the directory ~/.trinity/Autostart, not in my home directory.
Yes, that's exactly what you told it to do :-) That `cd ~` is not a command executed in yakuake but in the shell process that is running the script. If you want a newly opened shell to start in a particular directory you can do this by editing your ~/.bashrc. I don't know how to execute a script on yakuake start, but I suppose that's doable. Try googling this.
I changed the yabuake-start script to read as follows:
#!/bin/bash/ cd ~ yakuake
With the colour selection determined as described above and with this script, yakuake now opens the way I want it, in the home directory and with my colours.
