I typically SSH into my boxes, but it isn't really a shell - you don't have dynamic fonts/colors per application and stuck to 256 colors.

Maybe I will have to run a linux distro in order to share the love.



Actually, applications can control colors in the same way over SSH as they can on a local distro.


So, would my SSH client just map the colors to the closest available one in its' palette?

I'm kind of naive - I figured every application run within command line (not terminal) was restricted to a specific 256 palette.


SSH doesn't care about colours. You can use the colours of whatever terminal emulator you're using.
