Mac Terminal Themes

I recently upgraded the view on my terminal to be something more readable than anything that comes with OSX. However, I don't really like the red color that comes with that theme -- I feel like its more of a salmon color, and I want something really RED for my red. Anyway, I changed the color using the Terminal preferences, no problem. But every time I restarted the terminal my color scheme would reset to the colors that came with IR_Black. The problem is there is no way to edit a color theme for Terminal, so all changes are temporary unless you create a new color theme. The solution: make all the color changes you want to your theme, then use the options menu to "Duplicate Settings" and make a new color theme. Its kind of a pain to have to create a whole new color theme every time you want to tweak, but it works.
