is there any good reference to how to customize the bash terminal. I know how to change background, text and curser colors but is there like a list of all the colors i can use? And is there any way to change the opacity?

The easiest way i know of to change the opacity is to edit .Xdefaults. The line in question is aterm*shading. 0 is fully opaque and 100 is fully transparent. This is the equivalent of the "-sh <number>" commandline parameter.

For example, I add the following to root's .bashrc and .bash_profile to get a bold red prompt:
PS1='\e[31;1m\h(\u):\w\$\e[0m '
export PS1
