#793 Color selection for alternative input text

[John Wood]

When inputting i18n (for example, Japanese), iTerm sets the text color to black on bright yellow. Now, I have nothing against bright yellow... except that it is bright yellow. It would be nice if we could choose what colors are used here, just like standard text. Extending the profile menu to have an additional item seems like the proper thing to do here.

Ah yes, that appears to be hardcoded, I found changing these colours work:

PTYTextView.m

- (void) setFont:(NSFont*)aFont nafont:(NSFont *)naFont;

[NSColor yellowColor], NSBackgroundColorAttributeName,
[NSColor blackColor], NSForegroundColorAttributeName,

If you make them something like blackColor/whiteColor it is more "Unix normal". But yes, i agree the proper solution is to have another colour option in settings. Or at the very least, set it to default text colour.
