Bug Description
The current white/gray combo might work for some, but it's pretty hard on the eyes for colored output. The ability to have a transparent background, with any color, and have the text be any color, is a staple feature of just about any terminal client.

Avi, I think the color combo is (going to be?) set by the GTK theme for dark apps. Instead of changing it, I think the color output should be looked at/tweaked if possible (as the current color of blue used for output, ex. in "ls", is pretty terrible to read).
Also, from what I can tell from mockups, the idea is for the titlebar (which will be dark for dark GTK apps) and the rest of the window to blend together, but if just the text area is translucent, it wouldn't blend as well.
