Juergen, Just open terminal and go to: Edit > Profiles - Select Default > Edit You can then edit the colors for the background and text from the colors tab. If you de-select the 'Use colors from system theme' box, you can then edit them. Hope this helps! -- Dennis Shaw Webmaster Salem Academy & College 600 S.
