Bug Description
This is an enhancement request.
Xubuntu 14.04.1
xfce4-terminal 0.6.3
I would like to see the ability to adjust the background and text colors be made available on a window-by-window basis. The ability to display terminal windows with different color schemes is often useful.
This could be done with commandline options similar to xterm (-bg, -fg, -cr, -hc, etc) or through saved color profiles which could we set on the commandline or selected from the terminal menu, as is done with gnome-terminal. xfce4-terminal operates from these other emulators in certain ways which makes replacing it with one of the other programs undesirable. Adding this color management featire would be the best solution.

It would be nice to have a means of changing the colours using the command-line (either explicitly specifying the colours, as with xterm, or specifying a profile, as with roxterm or gnome-terminal).
I use a script to open different terminals in different colours, based on how many existing terminal windows are open on the desktop. I've gotten this idea from colleagues who do something similar. For some of us who work with multiple terminals on a desktop, this is a helpful way of quickly identifying which terminal is connected to which server.
