The colors used in the terminal window can be selected using the
Colors page of the Settings dialog. The new color settings are
active immediately when you click OK.
The color settings can be defined either globally (Global Settings) or
per profile (Profile Settings). When colors are defined in Global
Settings, the Use Global Colors option is not available, but
the color settings will affect all connection profiles.
Note that changing the terminal colors does not affect what is already
visible in the terminal window, but from this point onwards the text
output will use the selected color scheme.
To discard your changes, click Cancel.
