After downloading updates, the Update Manager starts installing them. 
During that time, you can unfold a Details section, which reveals a 
terminal session. With the terminal unfolded, the window is too big (high)
for my screen. That's the terminal I want to change the looks of.

And how does that change the appearance of the terminal view in the Update 
Manager? I just told you it is _not_ affected by the settings of the 
regular terminal in the Accessories menu.
