Font Color and Background Color Setting

In a color scheme, font colors, background colors and ANSI 16 colors are saved. Xshell enables users to select/change color schemes anytime while using Xshell. The selected color scheme is applied immediately.

To Change Terminal Color:

Do one of the following:
- Click the standard [Color Schemes] button to display the Select Color Scheme dialog box. Select a color scheme in the dialog box and click [OK].
- Select [Appearance] from [Category] in Session Properties dialog box, select a color scheme from the [Color Scheme] and click [OK].

Note
Xshell provides several default color schemes. Users may edit the existing color schemes or create new color schemes.
