ROXTerm is a GTK+ based lightweight terminal emulator. I chose it over GNOME Terminal as my default terminal emulator because ROXTerm can open a new tab in an existing window. However, ROXTerm doesn’t provide the Tango terminal color scheme out of the box. Hence I wrote one.

Put the following text configuration file into $HOME/.config/roxterm.sourceforge.net/Colours/Tango and choose the ‘Tango’ scheme in the ‘Preferences’ of ROXTerm menu.
