Does anyone know how to change the color scheme of Termit in Debian 11?
The files displayed in blue indigo are just too hard to read for me.

Thanks in advance.

Hello. Configuration can be changed via $HOME/.config/termit/rc.lua file.

Thanks Mindaugas for your response, but Debian 11's HOME/.config does
not have a 'termit' sub directory, thus it does not have a 'rc.lus' file.
Is there another way to change the indigo colour?

Thanks in advance.

I've never used termit, but here's the man page:

https://manpages.debian.org/bullseye/termit/termit.1.en.html

If the config file doesn't exist, then perhaps you're expected to create
it yourself. The man page also points to an example file, which I'm
guessing will be a much more informative starting point.

It looks like the target audience for this particular terminal emulator
is "people who like Lua". So, you're assumed to know Lua syntax at least.

There appear to be eight so-called 'colormaps' in
/etc/xdg/termit/colormaps.lua, viz tango, zenburn, delicate,
mikado, parkerBrothers, fishbone, bright and irc, whatever
these are.

It is of course against Debian policy to install or remove files in
any home directory. The closest approach to this would probably be
for a package to install files in /etc/skel/, which would then be
copied into new users' home directories as they were being created.

Cheers,
David.
