Changing the wallpaper

Users can download any custom wallpaper or create one, and change the wallpaper of the desktop within the Space.

First, click on the Desktop button on the top left corner of the screen and select Desktop Settings.

Within the settings windows, the background tab will be open by default. There, users can select the Folder where the custom wallpaper(s) is stored and all supported images will appear in the window.

Next, users can simply select the image they want as a wallpaper and the changes will reflect in real-time.

Changing the colors of the terminal

Users can change the color of their terminal from within the platform after they launch a Space.

To change the colors of the terminal users first need to open the kitty terminal from the screen.

Next, users need to execute the following command within the terminal –

cd ~/.config/kitty/

Once the command is executed, users need to execute a second command –

vim kitty.conf

Once the two commands are executed in the said order, users will be able to see and change the attributes of the terminal. Users can simply move their cursor to the attribute they would like to change, and change the hex code for the color they would like to see in different sections such as foreground, background, cursor, and more.

Once the changes are complete, users need to press enter to return to the home screen of the terminal. To save changes, users need to run this command on the home screen –

exit

When users restart the terminal, the changes will reflect.

Changing icons

Users can change icons within their Space by downloading XFCE icon packs from the internet within the platform. Once a pack is downloaded, users will find it in the Downloads folder, where they need to unarchive it.
