    Languages ​​- Terminal Finances

    The system also offers 2 themes for you to choose from: Dark and Light, as we have seen Dark in the previous images, the Light display looks like this:

    Light - Terminal Finances

    This is the default theme displayed as soon as you run Terminal Finances, unless you change the settings they are saved even if you close the program.

    Settings

    If you want to backup the database of your releases, click on this icon located in the left sidebar and choose the export location:

    Export Database - Terminal Finances

    The system will save the file with the name terminalfinances and the date of the export ( terminalfinances-xx-xx-xxxx.db), example if it were today: terminalfinances-08-02-2021.db.

    To import the database, copy the file you want to import and save it in the directory: ~/.config/terminalfinances/terminalfinances.db, ​​in Windows it will be in the location you chose to install, if you use the default folder offered by installer, it would be: C: \ Users \ [YOUR_USER] \ TerminalFinances \ terminalfinances.db.

    Remove the existing database and copy your backup into that directory and rename it only: terminalfinances.db

    On Linux you just need to use the command:

    cp terminalfinances-xx-xx-xxxx.db ~/.config/terminalfinances/terminalfinances.db

    This routine is different for the user to decide to overwrite the file explicitly and with his consent.

    By default, the software will display the currency symbol in [Brazilian Real], but you can also change in the configuration file, currency assign the value of your country’s currency symbol, example to Euro:

    currency = EUR
