Description Fabrizio Iannetti CLA 2021-01-30 06:38:21 EST 
Sometimes, e.g. when connecting to a remote system, the prompt string
makes assumptions on the colour scheme that result in an almost unreadable
terminal.

The terminal has a preferences setting to invert the background colour,
add an option to the pop-up menu to temporarily modify the setting.
