I am working now on some really exiting project and I am using about six terminals at the same time. Normally I use Ubuntu's default terminal which is currently the GNOME Terminal 3.20.2

Sometimes I get confused between my opened terminals, because their content is looking so similar.

So I ask is there a way to add a title or some coloring to the Terminal window?

  • You're using Ubuntu 17.04, right? – dessert Nov 06 '17 at 09:05
  • Yes, right now I'm using 17.04. But I'll upgrade to 17.10, soon. – eDeviser Nov 06 '17 at 09:07
  • Thanks to @muru for the duplicates. Well https://askubuntu.com/questions/22413/how-to-change-gnome-terminal-title uses gnome-terminal --title="SOME TITLE HERE". But the --title option seems to be deprecated. – eDeviser Nov 06 '17 at 09:20
  • Maybe https://askubuntu.com/q/616404/507051 helps? – dessert Nov 06 '17 at 09:44
  • echo -ne "\033]0;SOME TITLE HERE\007" to change the title in a running terminal window, or with wmctrl for the currently active window: wmctrl -r :ACTIVE: -N "MyWindowTitle". – dessert Nov 06 '17 at 09:46
  • @eDeviser the echo+control code method should still work – muru Nov 06 '17 at 09:47
  • Sorry, the echo command and the title command above do not work for me. The window's title stays the same. – eDeviser Nov 06 '17 at 15:17
