Moving tab title position from top to bottom in Ubuntu terminal

I had to recently moved to Ubuntu 12.04 from 10.04. I am used to see terminal titles in the bottom and prefer the same. Is there some way that I can change the tab title from top to bottom?

Move to top

gsettings set org.gnome.Terminal.Legacy.Settings tab-position top 

Move to bottom

gsettings set org.gnome.Terminal.Legacy.Settings tab-position bottom

I am assuming that you are using gnome-terminal, the default terminal emulator in Ubuntu. In this case, as Elder Geek said in his answer, I don't think that you have any possibilities to do this.

As alternative, you can use Konsole, a terminal emulator built for the KDE Platform, which also works great in Ubuntu and which has exactly the behavior about you asked:

Currently there is no way to do this (other than possibly rewriting the source code).

It is possible to move the tab position from the top default to the bottom of the Terminal window in Ubuntu (I have version 18.10)

gsettings set org.gnome.Terminal.Legacy.Settings tab-position bottom

To move the tabs to the top just issue the same command as above but with top:

gsettings set org.gnome.Terminal.Legacy.Settings tab-position top
