tweaking aterm

Aloha,
So, you want something different and you want it fast.
Ok, no problem :)
1.) Change your default colors in bash or whatever shell you use:
(thanks to mailing lists for this tip :) )
dircolors -p > ls_colors.file
Edit the file and customize the colors.
Now edit your .bashrc:
Instead of this:
export LS_OPTIONS='--color=auto'
eval `dircolors`
alias ls='ls $LS_OPTIONS'
use this:
export LS_OPTIONS='--color=auto'
eval `dircolors ls_colors.file`
alias ls='ls $LS_OPTIONS'
2.) Change your aterm a bit: well read the fine manual for that, it's actually pretty good, "man aterm" should get you going. I soon came up with something like this:
aterm -tr +sb +trsb -sh 55 -fg orange -bg white -cr red -tinting Blue3 -shading 65 -colorBD green +vb -font -*-fixed-medium-r-*-*-18-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-* -geometry 90x24
3.) Or you could shut down your pc and go meditate until you reach enlightenment ;)
Good luck in either case!
