# set highlighted color to be different from foreground-color

# set foreground, background and highlight color
gconftool-2 -s -t string $profile_path/background_color "#3F3F3F3F3F3F"

# make sure the profile is set to not use theme colors
gconftool-2 -s -t bool $profile_path/use_theme_colors false

I have fixed and implemented this color scheme in https://github.com/gnumoksha/gnome-terminal-colors

Thank you!
