Using xfce4-terminal version 0.6.3 I'm not able to change the color for bold text.

It keeps always a kind of blue, no matter from which preset I start my custom color settings.

Every other color setting like cursor color, font color or text selection color are working fine - but bold text color does not.

I tested this running the xfce-4-terminal on i3 and xfce4 itsself on top of a Debian Jessie conrtib non free. 

Here's a screenshot of the issue. As you can see, the bold text should have a really ugly green, but even after rebooting my machine the setting does not work:

Works fine here. Tested with:

$ tput bold; echo "Test"; tput sgr0

Ok, I tried this and you're right... but I'm afraid I made a mistake in the system behavior I expected:

I thougth that the folders / directories are bold text, too?!

Any idea how to set this color setting?

The text in your output of "ls" is bold, but a specific color is per-assigned.

For more information on how to configure these colors, please read the dir_colors manual page.
