Without restating that with SecureCRT you can't really be running an xterm and thus can use the "features" that a real xterm will use.... Now, you want to change your colors. Here is where the "help" of SecureCRT comes in handy.... Go to "Options-->Global Options-->Appearance-->ANSI Color". Under "Normal colors" pick the left most box (black) and click on it. Pick White. Then go back and click the right most box (grey/gray) and Pick Black. You are done....
