I like the idea of reading from `.Xresources`, it's ubiquitous on Linux, at least. It would be nice, but maybe not portable.
Adding GUI widgets limits the number of custom colors we can have to some reasonable number, probably 16. The [relevant function in VTE](https://developer.gnome.org/vte/0.50/VteTerminal.html#vte-terminal-set-colors) accepts palettes up to 256 colors. There may be other reasons in Geany that limiting the number to 16 is a good idea, though. Also this looks fairly easy to me, from reading `vte.c` it looks like I can implement it all in there without having to import anything new. My last point about this approach is just that setting 16 colors seperately would be annoying for the user. I wasn't able to make much of the Scintilla approach by looking through the codebase, but I think it would be the best option for the user. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
