Description

As mentioned within GUACAMOLE-629, the Guacamole protocol currently imposes limitations on the parameters which configure a connection. As the color scheme used by the terminal of an SSH/telnet connection is one such parameter, the terminal interface is limited to a pre-configured color scheme which cannot be changed while the connection is active.

It would be awfully nice if the color scheme of the terminal could be changed by the user without administrative access, and without requiring disconnect/reconnect.
