I seem to have a problem with Toolchest and I'm not sure what's causing it. Every now and then, when I open up a Unix Shell from the Toolchest, the colors are all messed up and I end up with a black background and black foreground.

Is there a way to prevent this from happening? I can fix my colors if I go back in and select a different color scheme but I don't want to have to keep doing this.

Better yet, where can I go to customize the Toolchest? Is there a way to modify the actual configuration files for it so that I can change the commands and what they do, or add commands?

there're 2 common ways to customize the toolchest. you either edit the system wide one (/usr/lib/X11/system.chestrc) or create a .chestrc file in your home with your additions
