Hello,

LXTerminal cannot be set to a specific size, in my case the terminal size i like is 120x40. I tried both solutuons from my own linus site but it looks like it is not working.

How can i set the terminal windows size to a fixed size and keep it like that everytime i open the terminal. For me the terminal windows size at this moment is much too small.
The easiest way I know to do this is to edit the launcher on the panel, right click the launcher and select properties, when the launcher properties window opens select the edit icon at the bottom right of the window. On the command line in the editor window replace the
Code:
lxterminal -t "Command Line"

with the following.

Code:
lxterminal -t "Command Line" --geometry=120x40

Hope that helps.

Ps. this only works when using the launcher on the panel as far as I know.
