| You can set up a profile with white bg and black fg and then call it
| with "--window-with-profile=PROFILENAME]" or
| "--tab-with-profile=PROFILENAME".
|
| For the command, from the man page:
|
| -e, --command=STRING
| Execute the argument to this option inside the terminal.
|
| -x, --execute
| Execute the remainder of the command line inside the
| terminal.
Try the -x variety without the -fg and -bg options.
The -x will faithfully preserve your filenames even if they have weird
characters in them. Your -e version won't.
Cheers,
