| That will change the colors that are used by 'ls' without |
| 9 |
| breaking other programs that use color? |
| 10 |
| |
| 11 |
The colors of any other program should be unaffected unless they are |
| 12 |
dependending on the console colors AFAIK. And yes, ls colors will |
| 13 |
change, as long as You use the xterminal which colors you have changed, |
| 14 |
eg xterm, rxvt and so on . |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
I think there is a third alternative to rgb.txt and ~/.Xdefaults. |
| 17 |
bash DIRCOLORS is an option and it will affect ls. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
| I used rxvt for many years until cut/paste stopped working for |
| 20 |
| me a couple years back. |
| 21 |
| |
| 22 |
Hmmm... I never had that problem so I can't help you with that one :/ |
| 23 |
Maybe someone else has more knowledge/experience than me regarding this |
| 24 |
issue. |

| But I don't _want_ a black background. I want a white |

| 32 |
| |
| 33 |
As my previous posting stated, you can set whatever color (your |
| 34 |
preferred xterminal app supports) for background and foreground , ie you |
| 35 |
can choose white foreground on black background or any other combination |
| 36 |
you prefer: |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
For instance |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
XTerm*background: #ffffff |
| 41 |
XTerm*foreground: #000000 |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
in your ¨/.Xdefaults |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
should set black on white as default values for any xterm you open |
| 46 |
(although portage could override it (?) since it's a python app(?) if my |
| 47 |
memory doesn't fail me. Right now i can't verify if it works or not |
| 48 |
because of my / disk crapping out on me.) I'm stuck Windoze again :( |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
I'm surprised that turning off colors for portage/emerge doesn't work. |
| 51 |
It sounds like a very odd behaviour - it has always worked for me |
| 52 |
whenever I tried it (although I prefer using colors - a matter of |
| 53 |
personal taste - or lack thereof :) |
| 54 |
