I was wondering if you've since found any better 256-color terminals for OS X. Personally, I've been using xterm-256color that I compiled from source, running in Apple's stock X11 server. It's way faster and less buggy than iTerm, but it's still a bit wonky. It would be nice if it had tabs, and X inexplicably loses focus occasionally, which is an enormous pain in the ass. But maybe I've been looking at the problem the wrong way -- perhaps 16 colors is too many, not too few. If that's the case, GLterminal is pretty compelling: http://ldopa.net/2006/01/14/glterminal/ :-D Best, Tony Hey Ken, how’s it going?
