I have Xubuntu 14.04, and I have an NTFS data partition that mounts at startup via fstab. How could I adjust the color settings for xfce4-terminal beyond the GUI options? For example how could I set up specifically the color or font-weight of directories or files for 'ls'? Most importantly for now, I would like to make my partition directories appear exactly as they do in my Xubuntu partition (or at least remove the highlighting). Screen shot posted here. Much thanks in advance.

1You probably have it mounted with masks that allow everyone to write, fixing that should fix the highlighting – muru Mar 09 '15 at 22:31

Awesome. That fixed it. That was all I really cared about with the colors. Feel free to add your suggestion as an answer, and I will mark it as solved. Thanks! :) – jbrock Mar 09 '15 at 22:38

The default highlighting of ls usually marks folders writable by others with that green background. Therefore you can:
- Change the
fmask,dmaskorumaskvalues of the mount point to deny write access to others (should be at least0002). See What do the different colors mean in ls? to know what the colors mean and how to set them. For example:
LS_COLORS="$LS_COLORS:ow="; export LS_COLORSThis should make folders writable by others look the same as others. I wouldn't recommend this, of course.
