And the distribution side would be covered by setting defaults in /etc/terminal-colors.d/ and then allowing per-user settings in $HOME/.config/terminal-colors.d/ via a GUI tool. The tools side should be easy enough to implement using this standardised system. Is there a deficiency in the design? Apart from maybe a way to enable rather than just disable. Also, should this concept be discussed with the freedesktop.org people (http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg) for possibly defining a new de facto standard? Cheers, Edward P.S.
