Colors

The colors used in the terminal window can be selected using the Colors page of the Settings dialog. The new color settings are active immediately when you click the OK button. Note that changing the terminal colors does not affect what is already visible on the terminal window, but the text output from this point onwards will use the set color scheme.

To discard the changes, click the Cancel button.

  • Use Global Colors

    Select the Use Global Colors check box if you want to use the same color settings for each connection. If the check box is selected, you cannot specify different color settings for each connection profile (the other color settings are grayed out).

    The Use Global Colors check box is visible only on the Colors page that is located under Profile Settings in the Settings dialog.

Text Colors

The text colors affect the terminal window background color and the color of text in both a connected window and a disconnected window.

  • Foreground

    Select the desired foreground color from the dropdown menu. Foreground color is used for text in a window that has a connection to a remote host computer. Sixteen colors are available for your selection. Black is the default foreground color.

  • Background

    Select the desired background color from the dropdown menu. Sixteen colors are available for your selection. White is the default background color.

  • Selection

    Use the dropdown menu to select the color that will be used as the background color when selecting text with the mouse. Sixteen colors are available for your selection. Teal is the default selection color.

  • Disconnected

    Use the dropdown menu to select the color that will be used as the foreground color in a terminal window that has no connection to a remote host computer. Sixteen colors are available for your selection. Gray is the default foreground color for a disconnected terminal window.

Cursor Color

Select the desired cursor color from the dropdown menu. Sixteen colors are available for your selection. Blue is the default cursor color.

ANSI Colors

With ANSI control codes it is possible to change the color of text in a terminal window. With the ANSI Colors setting you can select if you want to allow this feature or not. Even if you disable ANSI colors, you can still select your favorite text and background colors to be used in the terminal window.

  • Enable ANSI Colors

    Check the Enable ANSI Colors check box to allow ANSI colors to be used in the terminal window.

Reverse Colors

By reversing the display colors you can quickly change the display from positive (dark on light) to negative (light on dark) to improve visibility.

  • Reverse Video

    Check the Reverse Video check box to change the foreground color into background color and vice versa. This setting affects the whole terminal window as soon as you click the OK button.
