When I saw uwstopia’s post on Tango terminal I fell in love with the color scheme right away. Basically it follows the Tango Desktop Project color scheme with a few exceptions. Personally I spend so much time on the terminal that this scheme make it easier on the eyes. But there was one problem I don’t use gnome-terminal, I instead use mrxvt it’s very light weight, support 256 colors and will compile on MAC OS X and Linux.
