You can change your terminal emulation most likely to ansi or something like that, but I think you'll wind up with traditional cli applications maybe not displaying correctly.
I wonder... if you have more than one terminal emulator, like say both lxterminal and gnome-terminal, could you change only one of them to be ansi
and leave the other one as is. Then, when you want to see ansi, you use terminal package a, and otherwise use b.
