Hi Simon, It's not wishful thinking, but the functionality is pretty well hidden.
The first step is to go to the Edit | Configure | Qt IDE menu and set TermSyntaxHighlight=true This allows the terminal window to make use of the syntax colouring file the same way that the edit windows do. The second step if you want further adjustments is to go to the Edit | Configure | Styles menu and adjust the display to your preference.
