Re: Color in Terminal?

I am with you on this one Paul. I also like to have a colorized console. I've found that there are two basic ways to achieve colorized output:
If you have a rescent copy of FreeBSD (say 4.x) then you can use the -G option with the ls command. Use man ls to check the options and switches. This works great, but I don't like the color scheme.
The option I prefer is to install the gnuls (gnu ls) port in /usr/ports/misc/gnuls. I think the colors are much nicer. After the install, type: gnuls --color The command is long- so the way I handle this is to write a script called lls continaing the command gnuls --color and I put it in /usr/local/bin. I then chmod the command for execute by all (chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/lls). You can set the permissions to your taste.
Both of these options will allow you to display files in an X terminal with color.
Have fun.

To color Xterm put this in $HOME/.Xdefaults:
xterm*foreground: green
xterm*background: black
xterm*cursorColor: red
xterm*highlightColor: dark blue
xterm*scrollBar: True
xterm*rightScrollBar: True
xterm*saveLines: 200

Sweet!,
I followed the recommendation to install gnuls on my freebsd machine. What I did to cheat was renamed /bin/ls to /bin/ls-backup and created a text file with the following line:
#/usr/local/bin/bash
/usr/local/bin/gnuls --color
saved it and chmod'd it to 755 now when you type ls it act's normal with color :)

if you use csh/tcsh: in .cshrc add:
alias ls ls -G
setenv TERM xterm-color
if you use bash do something like:
alias ls ls -G
export TERM=xterm-color

this should work in any terminal program including xterm without having to alias or script anything.
put theses 4 lines in your shell's profile file:
CLICOLOR="YES"
export CLICOLOR
LSCOLORS="ExGxFxdxCxDxDxhbadExEx"
export LSCOLORS
