I Like it. Will investigate after a good night's sleep and a cup of coffee. Thanks.

Here is an interesting idea for on-the-fly changes to your filemanager.

The colors are defined by your desktop theme. If you are using MATE  then
there is a settings module that defines this.

However it can be changed on a per-application basis, by running from the
commandline. Like this for GNOME3:

GTK_THEME=theme:variant nautilus

The GTK_THEME variable should override the desktop default when you run the
filemanager. Other Desktop environments will have other variables for this.
Themes set the background and foreground colors, so all you need to do is
install additional themes, and override them when you launch your second
and third file manager windows. I hope. Haven't actually tried this yet.

Richard,

    If you look where the command to open a terminal is presented to you add
the options on the command line; e.g., '/usr/bin/xterm -fn 16x20' (or
whatever size is appropriate for you.) That applies the size to all
terminal
windows you open, regardless of session.

    Of course, your distribution might not work that way.
