Any ideas? Assuming you are talking about gnome-terminal, run it with the --show-menubar option and then you will have access to a menu where you can change the colors. There is a pallet with about 16 colors that get used for various things and you can change those to work better with a dark background. There should also be a way to change bindings to the pallet (at least for some things), but I haven't tried that.
