Hi,

I have looked around the SSH Shell options and cant seem to find any way to set the terminal colours.

Is this possible?

Thanks,
steve

Hello,

In order to change the color of your SSH Shell Terminal, please do the following:

Go to the Properties of your SSH Shell entry -> User Interface -> Color -> Choose the color you wish to use

James,

That just seems to change the colour of the session entry in the Navigator and/or the tab colour?

I want to be able to change the colour of the text in the terminal session (the default is white text on black).

Thanks,
Steve

Hello,

My apology, the setting you are looking for is under File -> Types -> Terminal -> Colors

Hi,


is there a way to set colors per sessions ?
The File -> Types -> Terminal -> Colors changes colors for all SSH session, what I'd like to do is have different background color depending on the session.

Hello,

I forgot to mention the location of this new feature. It is located in the Properties of your SSH Shell entry under:

General - Terminal - Display - Use the dropdown menu next to "Colors" to select "Override" and then click on "Customize colors"

Hi everybody,
Sorry to dig up an old post, but I'm having difficulties finding this option in the latest version (4.6.0.0 64bit).

When I use SSH to out linux box, I cannot read half the text as it has bright colours all over it.

Is there any way I can change this to not show any colours ata ll?

Either white text on black background or visa versa?

Please help.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

I think that what you are trying to achieve can be done by going to the following location:


File -> Options -> Types -> Terminal -> Colors and check "Override terminal colors"


Once this option is checked, you will be able to use the different dropdown menu to change the default colors of your Terminal sessions.
