Spruce Up Terminal

Hitting Command+ I while using Terminal will bring up the Inspector window. Ensure that the Info tab is selected within the window, and enter alternative values within the Columns and Rows fields to alter the dimensions of the Terminal window (you can also click and drag the edges of the window, of course, but this method allows a degree more accuracy in your size choices).

Click the Settings tab, and you can also change the Terminal window’s theme (that is, its color scheme and font). Just select an option from the list. This selection lasts only as long as the current Terminal window is open.

To make permanent changes to size and color scheme, hit Command+ , (comma) to open the Terminal window’s preferences. Then click the Settings button at the top of the dialog box that appears, and make the changes beneath. When done, click the Default button beneath the list of themes at the left of the dialog box.
