[SOLVED] Terminal Settings messed up

I recently tried out a theme called Chicago95 for my xfce desktop. Problem is, when I tried removing it, my terminal was stuck like this. Can't find any settings in the gui to fix this and I don't know about the terminal. Any suggestions?

Re: [SOLVED] Terminal Settings messed up

Hello and welcome.

my terminal was stuck like this.

Can you identify exactly what you think is wrong with the image you linked? The image, without any context, looks okay.

Also:

1. What version of Xfce and what version of xfce4-terminal are you running?

2. Does the problem persist after a logout and log back in?
   If so, can you post the results of the following:

   xfconf-query -c xsettings -lv

   ...as well as the contents of the files ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css and ~/.gtkrc-2.0 if they exist.

Re: [SOLVED] Terminal Settings messed up

yeah, sorry I forgot to explain exactly what was wrong. I'd like my terminal to return to the default settings.

Re: [SOLVED] Terminal Settings messed up

So the appearance (gtk) theme in your image does look like IndigoMagic. However, I think you might be referring to the Window Manager theme (the titlebar and buttons). To change this you need to go to Settings Manager > Window Manager and change the theme there - there should be a Mofit theme that will match. If it's not there, make sure you have something like an xfwm4-themes package installed.

Re: [SOLVED] Terminal Settings messed up

I'm thinking the Chicago95 theme made changes to ~/.bashrc, specifically the PS1= lines that show that Windows stuff, that the OP wants undone. I could be wrong.

Re: [SOLVED] Terminal Settings messed up

Nah im talking about these buttons and how the terminal says

"Microsoft(R) Windows 95
   (C)Copyright Microsoft Corp 1981-1996.

C:\home\sam>"

I'd rather it just say [sam@sam-pc ~] $

Again, sorry for the confusion

Re: [SOLVED] Terminal Settings messed up

Ok I was able to remove the microsoft thing by editing ~/.bashrc, removing the PS1 lines with the microsoft text. Now the issue is gettings those icons back to normal. Before they were just words up there that listed the command. Thanks

Re: [SOLVED] Terminal Settings messed up

This should work.

In the terminal press Alt+V to open the View menu. Check the box for Show Menubar and uncheck the box for Show Toolbar.

alt+V doesn't do anything?

Re: [SOLVED] Terminal Settings messed up

If Alt-V doesn't work, you should be able to right-click on the terminal window and select the option to "Show Menubar".

Well, I'll be! I've only ever right clicked when it was easier to paste that way and never paid any attention to the other options. :oops:
