Terminal emulator with custom color palette

Terminal emulator with custom color palette I'm trying to get more colors in the terminal emulator. Mostly to get prettier syntax highlighting. I've googled quite extensively for a terminal emulator that supports 24bit colordepth and that doesn't seem to exist. And even if it did gnu screen, that I use extensively, only supports 256 colors.

"Since February 17 there is a fork of rxvt-unicode that does exactly what I was looking for.
Via X resources it lets you customize all 256 colors. Each color can be set to any one of 2^24 RGB triplets.

On a freshly installed Ubuntu 11.04 the installation is done like this:

sudo apt-get install libperl-dev libx11-dev libxft-dev git g++
git clone github.com/trapd00r/rxvt-unicode.git
cd rxvt-unicode
sh configure --enable-256-color --enable-font-styles \
--enable-perl--enable-mousewheel --enable-lastlog --enable-xft
make
make install"

"The eLinks Manual has this to say regarding its true-color mode:

Note that only terminal capable to
show it is konsole from kdebase-3.5.4.

Not being a Konsole user, a cursory web search for the feature makes me uncertain whether anybody else knows about it or whether any other software can currently make use of it."
