Sorry was not hitting reply-all.


None of those commands changed anything in the behavior. Is it possibble that 
the background color setting from fish_config is broken? when i open it again 
the background reverts to black. How can i set the terminal background outside 
of fish_config?

the message thread:

So that command does seem to return the expected results. But as you can see if 
i set a theme from fish_config then open up a fresh xterm only the text colors 
have changed not the background.




Okay, the first thing to note is that most of those themes assume you have a 
terminal that can display not only 256 colors but also supports 24bit color 
escape sequences. Fish will mostly do the right thing if your TERM name 
contains "256color"; e.g., 



set -x TERM xterm-256color



If you know your terminal emulator supports the ANSI X3.64 256 color palette 
but there isn't an appropriate TERM name you can force fish to enable 256 color 
support with



set -U fish_term256 1



The colors however may not exactly match what you see in the browser unless you 
also 



set -U fish_term24bit 1



That's because if the terminal only supports the 256 color palette fish will 
map the 24bit color values to the closest equivalent color in that palette. Of 
course don't do that if xfce-term doesn't support 24bit color values (aka "true 
color" support).
