Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/electerm/electerm/issues/3660

What feature you'd like to see or proposal(期望什么新功能/特性或者建议)

Syntax highlighting is a very cool feature, but after using it for a while, I find the color set lacking and would like to have the ability to choose from the full spectrum of colors.

Add the ability to select text highlighting in the terminal settings. Add the ability to choose from the full color spectrum similar to when creating a bookmark.

Could you tell me if there is a possibility of implementing this functionality? Should we expect it in future updates? It would greatly simplify the work.

Sorry, I forget to reply, as I know, the terminal text has limited colors that defined in theme config, even I provide a full color spectrum, it would not work, if you are interested in some colors, you can create a theme, define a color set, there you can choose any color you want, then you can create keyword highlight, you can choose from the colors you defined in your custom theme, let me kown if this works for you or not

I know, the color set you can see from the screenshot is from the colors defined in theme, in the theme edit, you can set any color

I wanted to add more colors, not change the current ones. It is the variety of colors that I am missing
