This is really cool and I'll use it. My only negative comment is that white on black is really harsh on my eyes. It would be nice if the theme could be toned down a bit somehow.
To be fair, most terminals I've encountered aren't white on black, but more of a light grey on black. I believe that's what OP means by toning it down a bit. While I do prefer a higher contrast as you do, I agree with OP in that this is too high.
