Root shell dark background

By default, is not possibile to edit the Konsole Root Shell profile:

But is it possible to change the background color? The default is white and is very hard to read it.

I know I can create a new profile, but I’m fine with the default, just with a dark background.

@boredkollie:

You can change the command for the KDE Menu entry “Terminal - Superuser-Mode” to include the option “-p” –

-p <property=value>

Where, the property you need is mentioned in the file ‘/usr/share/konsole/Root Shell.profile’ –

ColorScheme=BlackOnWhite

Choose a suitable colour scheme from the list of files ‘/usr/share/konsole/*.colorscheme

You need to retain the KDE Menu command argument “–profile ‘Root Shell’” …


You could edit the file ‘/usr/share/konsole/Root Shell.profile’ but, every time the package supplying that file is updated your change will be lost …

Thanks, I learn a new thing! At the end, I created a new profile at least it won’t be updated as you mentioned.
