The specific profile doesn’t actually matter!

Take any dark profile (both Pastel and Tango are great!) and change the background to #292929 (the colour of the dark iTerm title bar). I also like to activate Cursor Guide and use a translucent greyish colour.

iTerm Settings

Under Appearance,

  • set Tabs » Theme to Dark
  • deactivate Window » “Show line under title bar when the tab bar is not visible”

Under Advanced, set “Dark themes give terminal windows black title bars by default” to Yes. (I believe this is the default actually.)

Do not set a custom “Tab Color”, it will a) only apply to the title bar when the tab bar is invisible anyway b) look horrible when the tab bar is visible
