How to set background default color in fish shell?
Specifically, I want to set the default background color to "Solarized Dark" in my fish shell for Iterm2.
Currently, I have to manually change the background every time I start my fish shell using CMD + I:
Is there anyway to set this such that the settings are saved?
My fish_variables file looks like this now:
# This file contains fish universal variable definitions.

Solution
Rather than setting the colors in your session preferences (via ā+I), save them as the profile preferences (ā+, and choose Profiles). If you don't want to use this for all your terminal shell sessions, you can create a new profile which also starts fish by changing the Command in the General profile preferences.
