#!/usr/bin/env sh
gconftool-2 -s -t string /apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/palette "#000000000000:#919122222626:#777789890000:#AEAE7B7B0000:#1D1D25259494:#68682a2a9b9b:#2B2B66665151:#929295959393:#666666666666:#CCCC66666666:#B5B5BDBD6868:#F0F0C6C67474:#8181A2A2BEBE:#B2B29494BBBB:#8A8ABEBEB7B7:#ECECEBEBECEC"
