Yes, it certainly has the potential to look nice. No doubt. |

Well - a terminal is something to work with. And this has to |
| 17 |
be functional and not "provide a change of pace". |

My text color is black, as my background is white, which is, BTW, |
| 24 |
the best to read for the majority of people (if you're not handicapped, |
| 25 |
that is). That's so, because the contrast between the text and the |
| 26 |
background cannot be higher than with black on white (or white on |
| 27 |
black). |

Yep. That's what I do. |

But hey, if you can work with a transparent term - fine! Nice for |
| 35 |
you! |
