I think the selection of colours in the palette should actually precede the bit to change the colours on the profile in the tab to set colours for the profile if you need to fiddle with that first.
It nowhere actually explicitly says, in the "Help" documentation, something to the effect "having set up the pallet to include the desired colours you want to work with in your profiles then select the colour combinations you want for each profile's foreground and background, default, bold and enhanced by ..." I did it by dragging to foreground and background from the pallet. It did the trick so I assumed that was correct but nothing seems to say that. Hope that is helpful. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2050908 Title: Prefences does not work properly on new profiles Status in gnome-terminal package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: After creating a new profile, "preferences" does not work correctly. I want to have a selection of profiles as I log in to a variety of systems and want the background colours to quickly distinguish as to which host server a given terminal is connected to. For example I have an entry on my desktop "Window to UH" which invokes: Exec=gnome-terminal --profile=UH -e 'ssh -X -l jcollins -e none star.herts.ac.uk' I want UH profile to hack a background of light blue and use a distinctive font and size. However after creating the profile and setting about changing the font and colours, I find that the font selection is greyed out and attempts to change the colour selections fail. I can work around this by using "dconf-editor", working through to the profile and changing the font and colours "by hand" but this is unwieldy. There would seem to be a bug in the preferences menu entry introduced between 20.10 and 22.04.
