Hi,
Is it possible to choose the colors of the background/foreground without changing the ANSI colors?

If it dosen't cause any slowdown, it would be a great feature.
It would be nice to change the foreground colors without messing up the ansi colors, Some look funky if you change them around too much

I don't quite understand what you are trying to do here.

In effect, everything is an ANSI colour, so if you want a different background, just change the normal background (usually black).

In what way does this not work?

I think what they're talking about here is having a seperate colour for the background that isn't selected from the ANSI colours. Say, for example, you remap ANSI black to a dark grey. The background would turn dark grey, as would any black text sent by the server. But what if you wanted the black text to be grey, but the background to stay black (so we can tell them apart)? This would allow black text to be seen on the background. Also, if you wanted a white background, any white text the server sends will be invisible.

The way things are, there will always be one colour that will blend into the background and become invisible. By giving the user a full and seperate colour palette for the window background, this problem can be avoided.

Hmm - I think I see what you are getting at.

Strictly speaking even the background colour is an ANSI colour, but I suppose what you mean is that, if it is not set explicitly, you want another default colour.

I have added that as suggestion #350.
