colorsgnomegnome-terminalterminalxterm
I am looking for a command line way to change the background & foreground colors of all open terminal (and also for any new terminal, the new settings should be applied).
Using something like setterm -term linux -back blue -fore white -clear
only the terminal in which I execute the command is affected. I want to change for all terminals, without needed to close/reopen any terminal.
thanks
set your TERM environment variable to xterm-256color, as it is described in http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/256_colors_in_vim.
The Popup Background settings from the Console Windows Properties is for the the color of the console popup window such as when you press F7 to view the history of commands you've used in your console session.
By default the console screen highlight color simply appears to be the inverse color of whatever color you have set in the Console Windows Properties from the Screen Background setting.
Therefore as suggested, if you set the Screen Background colors to 50,50,50 in the Selected Color Values settings, then this seems to give you a gray highlight color per its inverse color.
The trade off for doing this is that the regular of non-highlighted console background color will be of a lighter shade than just solid black.

You can redirect the output of the
settermcommand to the device file of the terminal.
