-Some options could need manual change to ~/.config/xfce4/terminal/terminalrc:
-
-To reduce the height of tabs, add the hidden 'MiscSlimTabs' option:
-
-MiscSlimTabs=TRUE
-
-By default this option is not defined.
-
-If you have configured a custom color cursor you will also need to add:
-
-ColorCursorUseDefault=FALSE
-
-to have such configuration still working, otherwise reconfigure the color
-in the GUI.
-
-Keep in mind, when you change an option in Preferences window, this file
-is overwritten.
