Fixing Terminal

     On Lucid, which I started with the first Alpha, grew a purple 
background and looked like a Mac. I was not happy and then found 
System-Preferences-Appearance. There I was able to kill the purple 
background and make it brown again. But the Terminal still had a purple 
background with yellow letters.

      The main problem was that the purple background was not solid! I 
could see things on my computer through the background and this was 
distracting when trying to write a g++ source code. But I kept looking 
and then tried what the terminal preference suggested and I was able to 
get a white background with white letters just like it used to be. The 
white background is not a see through.

      I hope this will help others with Lucid who actually use it for work.
