Changing prompt color is not very difficult, but changing the background 
(on-the-fly) is much more, emh, <english word for instant visual 
recognition>...

This topic has received the [OT] prefix, so I guess changing background 
color isn't possible in Terminal... Too bad.

I've posted a feature request in bugzilla: 
http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2857

Maybe this can be possible in the future...
