How do I change the color of text displayed in the Spring STS Roo Shell?

I have a requirement to use Spring STS with a black background and green text.

Unfortunately the color of text in the Roo Shell is a dark greeny/blue color, making it almost impossible for me to see against the black background.

Is there a way of changing the text color in the Roo Shell?

I've looked through the STS/Eclipse preferences and can't find anything. I r开发者_如何学编程eally hope it hasn't been hard coded. If there's no setting in the STS Preferences, is there a property file somewhere where I can set it?

I am using STS Version: 2.6.1.RELEASE

Thanks in advance

You don't have to use STS. You can just run it from the command line. I happen to have mine as green text with black background, because that is what my terminals display.

If that isn't helpful, what OS are you using?

I found that the colour of some window displays in Eclipse were controlled by the themes in my Ubuntu system. I just found the right one and changed the theme. (STS being based on Eclipse it may be the same)

It is not possible yet to configure the background and text colors of the Roo Shell in SpringSource Tool Suite.

It has been added as a bug by a member of the SpringSource team to be fixed in STS v2.8.0.M1. See - https://issuetracker.springsource.com/browse/STS-1894
