# Terminal classes

The GNOME terminal allows you to have different configuration profiles to suit different uses (different background colours, presence, absence or position of scrollbars, and so on). To set these up, invoke the Preferences dialogue from the Settings menu of `GNOME Terminal`. Select the options you prefer (these changes will be made to your currently-open terminal, so you can see what they look like), and before closing the preferences box, make sure you have put a new name in the `Terminal Class` field.

To activate a specific class at program startup you can use the `--tclass` command line option
