Gnome-terminal: Changing colors of old commands in scrollback buffer


0 down vote favorite


In GNOME Terminal, is it possible to change the color of previous commands after typing new commands?

For instance:

$ ls (black)
test1 test2 test3 (black)
$

and then when I type a new command, the previous one and its output changes to green:

$ ls (green)
test1 test2 test3 (green)
$ ifconfig (black)
ifname: eth0 blah (black)

Having tried this a number of different ways, I don't think there is an easy way to do this outside of editing the terminal emulator source code.
