Can someone tell me what kind of Terminal is used in the following figure:
Does it color text that way? If not, is there any plugin for that?
Although xmonad and i3 are good guesses, this is actually tmux, a terminal multiplexer (I know because I use it constantly). It is an invaluable tool that allows you to create and manage multiple sessions (like browser windows), tabs (like browser tabs), and panes (like multiple tabs shown at once, as seen in your screenshot). You can get it by installing the tmux
package (sudo apt-get install tmux
), and I highly recommend starting off with this excellent tutorial.
Most of the tmux "panes" with colored text are vim
instances. vim is a unique and immensely powerful text editor. Check out first this primer, and then this tutorial. If you ever have to do any significant amount of programming, vim will be one of your best friends.
mv solarized.vim ~/.vim/colors/
after having downloaded it and cd vim-colors-solarized/colors
refering to its github's documentation, Terminal tells me that ~/.vim
couldn't be found.

.vim
folder. Try mkdir -p ~/.vim/colors
, which will create both ~/.vim and ~/.vim/colors.
This looks like xmonad window manager (see this screenshot). It is OK if most of the things you do is in various terminal sessions but I found it a bit annoying when dealing with multi-window apps (like gimp or skype).
