Description
It is possible to alter the Terminal color palette through terminal by passing values via gconf-editor. This is an advanced operation and could be covered in a "Advanced" section.
Example:
gconftool-2 --set /apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/use_theme_background --type bool false
gconftool-2 --set /apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/use_theme_colors --type bool false
gconftool-2 -s -t string /apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/background_color '#0
d0d19192626'
gconftool-2 -s -t string /apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/foreground_color '#d9d9e6e6f2f2'
gconftool-2 -s -t string /apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/palette '#0

The page could have 2 sections:
First section:
-
Information about the 16-bit HEX color code How a 16bit color code can be generated? Perhaps there is a GNOME color picker application that can do this?
-
A one line introduction on gconf-editor, a note about it's installation (perhaps a link to help in sys-admin-guide within gnome-user-docs?), what it provides (the gconf-tool) and a line about gconf-tool.
Second section:
- How to set custom color palette using gconftool
Thanks.
