Thanks for the comments.
For the colors, I just find it a pain to change around the colors after
setting up the sources. I mention this because we currently have 50
different sources, and having to go to each one to change the colors
around after the initial setup took me a while, where as if I did the
colors from the config file initially it would have saved me a lot of
time, hence why I said to do it at the file level. I also noticed that
these colors aren't saved when you go to make a new profile, and it
falls back on the ones specified in the file, so when putting multiple
sources into a new profile, you need to edit the colors again.
