[Github-comments] [geany/geany] A way to change terminal colors (#2530)

I tend to agree. Also doing it the config file way doesn't mean a GUI can't be added later too.

Fair warning: Geany's core developers are fairly inactive in the last while. Before investing a ton of time in implementing this, you should weight it against the fact that it may not get reviewed in a timely manner, and you may find it annoying trying to get someone to merge it. I know it sounds weird, but there's nothing worse than volunteering a lot of time/effort and not having the work reviewed/merged. Geany is largely in maintenance mode these days, and the handful of developers who historically have volunteered their time are having less of it to spend on Geany.

That said, it's a trivial implementation, it's much more likely to get reviewed/merged.
