Modifing "Terminal Using Color"
My Company has a Global Enterprise License and I'm trying to get my team to use RDM as a replacement for putty and SecureCRT. One thing holding it back is that there are users on my team with widely varying opinions on what the ssh/telnet terminal background and text color should be. Some like high contrast, some like low, and everyone has a color preference.
We can't seem to find a way to modify this preference on a per client bases without modifying the connection entries themselves which changes it for everyone. In fact, this is not even an option under "edit user/machine specific settings).
Is there a way to modify the default value of "terminal using color" via a client option or text file so that everyone can set this to suit his or her individual preferences?
Thanks,

Hi,
It's not supported for now but I don't think it would be difficult to add. I have entered a feature request for that.

If you use putty everyone can configure putty as they like and it will just use those configuration options.
Thanks David, that would be huge and I think your right it should not be hard to implement. The key is to make it a client option. Having to "edit user specific settings" on 1000s of objects after the fact, or every time a new device is added would be less than optimal to say the least.
Rumpler, thanks for the tip. I thought about going that route but Putty is just too clunky (slow to load and close), no search in window, alt-tab requires extra click because it’s an external program running on top of RDM, and the biggest is session recording is nowhere close to RDM's imbedded client with its extensive list of variables.
Integrated ssh/telnet is way to go for sure, and would be perfect if individuals could modify terminal color settings to what works/looks best for them.
