I have never once in the 30+ years I've been programming wanted to change the default background color of an existing terminal session on the fly; i.e., outside of a particular app. This is something you spend a few minutes every five years or so deciding on your personal preference then set once and forget about it. If you like different background colors to signify a particular purpose for a given terminal you, again, figure out what those should be then create an easy mechanism for invoking a terminal with the desired characteristics (be it background color, width, height, or anything else). > Thus I would say that implementing such option is a pure waste of time. > Agreed. Please do not implement this. There are already way too many zsh options with very limited utility but which cause much confusion. --=20 Kurtis Rader Caretaker of the exceptional canines Junior and Hank --089e0112cb4c9a98b6050fb679de--
