Customise Geany Terminal Color


Is there a way to to customise the Terminal Color in Geany beyond what's offered in the program itself i.e. a configuration file or something like that.

There is a lot of results for the Editor color but this is about the Terminal! I find the default for directories hard to read and in Geany itself you can only change the foreground and background colors.

EDIT: To clarify I want to change the color used for directory names which is currently a dark shade of blue.


Solution

  • In your home directory is a file .dir_colors. This file determines among other the Geany VTE colors. Backup your original file if it exists.

    To create the file, run this command in your terminal:

    dircolors --print-database > ~/.dir_colors
    

    Read the comments in the file and customize to your liking. Hope this helps!!
