How do I change the colors for the terminal plugin; on my system is white text against a light-grey background.

By: Alec

See this stack overflow for changing colors in the gedit terminal: https://askubuntu.com/questions/433691/how-to-change-gedit-embeded-terminal-plugin-colors

Then if that doesn't work do this afterwards: https://askubuntu.com/questions/891369/how-to-change-the-colours-of-the-embedded-terminal-in-gedit-in-ubuntu-16-04-lts

Hopefully these help!

missing a plugin for running makefiles from the same directory where the code is, just like geany does (i'm actually only using geany because of this...)
