lxterminal vs gnome-terminal

Post by kirill_igum »

lxterminal is pretty simple and i like it. however sometimes i like gnome-terminal for example because it has smaller tab bar :-)

lxterminal uses 16mb and gnome-terminal 18mb.

is there any other penalty besides 2 mb of ram?

any other good lightweight terminals that use same libs as lxde?

You can go to Edit -> Preferences -> Display and tick the "Hide close buttons" option. It makes the tabs (slightly) smaller. You can close a tab by middle-clicking on a tab or by pressing the 'ctrl + shift + w' combination.

You might also want to tick the "hide menu bar" option, since it is rarely used, and can be replicated by right-clicking anywhere in the terminal body itself.
