Is it possible to install Pantheon terminal from elementary OS on my Ubuntu 14.04 or newer LTS releases? If yes, how can I?

Best Answer

In case you want your Terminal to look like Elementary OS' terminal, do the following -

Go to Edit -> Profile Preferences

Go to the Colors tab and uncheck Use Colors from System Theme

From the Built-in Schemes drop down menu, select White on Black

Go to the Background tab and select Transparent Background

Adjust the slider below according to your preference. Around 75% should look good.
