Can you change the default xfce4-terminal color palette? The red is too dark at the moment (simulate removing cups to see what I mean).
@hhh have you succeeded in forcing a terminal to use a different shade of red there?
In Preferences>Appearance you can set a color palette (Dark Pastel works ok with the default theme), and set the checkbox to use system colors for fore and background.

Choosing a colour palette unchecks the system colors. Putting the check back then leaves "Dark Pastel" chosen, and the colours in an indeterminate state. In fact the DP palette for me makes the apt warning text an even harder to read dull grey. Choose "Solarised (dark)" then recheck "Use system theme colours" looked better, but I don't really know what's going on.
(The GTK theme doesn't seem to affect the terminal colours.)

I think we might best leave it at the default settings we had already, and think about it some more...

I installed RC3 successfully on a Thinkpad p14s gen6.

Same feedback as @hhh regarding the default color palette of the terminal: the contrast level is terrible and dark colors on dark background are just unreadable. It is really worth fixing this.

Another minor issue is the wallpaper not extending to the second screen when I plug in and activate an external monitor. I need to open the wallpaper configuration app and edit each time.

Great work overall, I love the consistency with earlier versions, and how the whole system remains lightweight. Thanks!
