Ubuntu Touch's Terminal app sees new interesting features

Weather, Calculator, Clock, Facebook are among the currently-in-progress applications developed under the umbrella of Ubuntu Touch Core Apps, official project aimed at creating, polishing and refining a set of default apps for Ubuntu Touch (with the possibility for the apps to be used by hardware manufacturers interested in adopting Ubuntu Touch). Terminal app is also being developed under the Core Apps, Ubuntu SDK app filtering the useful and traditional terminal through an Ubuntu SDK interface. Terminal app has been enriched with new exciting features, allowing the user to tweak its appearance with relevant options. Navigating to Settings, the user is able to change the used color scheme by selecting from default color schemes: DarkPastels, GreenOnBlack, BlackOnRandomLight, WhiteOnBlack, BlackOnLightYellow, Linux and BlackOnWhite, thus rendering the terminal view per preference. Moreover, the font size is easily adjustable by dragging the specific size block. A definitely interesting aspect of the newly-updated Terminal app is its responsiveness to window sizes, meaning, maximizing the app in fullscreen mode (windowed), properly scales up the terminal view, presenting itself as a usable experience on both touch devices and desktop.
