Ability to change the terminal colors

[muhdiboy]

I would like to be able to change the terminal colors so that it can be customized and can be better read.

I don't know if it is currently possible to change the color palette of the PyGtk/Vte Terminal Emulator.
Changing Font color is possible and is working like it should.

Hi
I have almost the same request.
Changing the colours foreground/background only isn't enough.
I'm working on some applications where some messages appear on dark blue, which are barely unreadable on black background, and other messages on bright yellow which are barely unreadable on light background ... (I'm agree, this is bad application !!)
Ideally we should be able to use an external terminal like "Tilix" by example, which support "colours scheme"

I've seen several topics about this. I would love to be able to change the colors too.

With an upgrade of the distro the issue is less about readability for me, because the color blue has been updated to a brighter one.

I 100% support this feature request. Currently even out of the box on Ubuntu the output of a simple ls can be barely readable. I'd love to be able to override some colors.

If your problem is only with 'ls', you can easily solve it using environment variable 'LS_COLOR'
echo $LS_COLORS
see :
Configuring LS_COLORS
I changed the colour used for directory with "di=1;94"

Unfortunately not all function or application allow to do that !

@ericc-dream thank you for this advice! I was struggling with this for so long and the solution appeared to be not that complicated.

This looks so much better!
