Set color to RXVT

bluesheet · 07-01-2005, 04:02 AM

Dear all,
I'm using RXVT-Unicode for my xterm, and I set this line "eval `dircolor -b` in my "~/.bashrc", show I can display the directory in color on RXVT, but it doesn't have the color for the file type, such as allmost tar.gz file color is red and executable file is green. How can I set it.
Please give me some suggestions!
Thanks.

Regards.

add

alias ls='ls -F --color'

to your .bashrc file, and re-source it ($ source .bashrc)

Dear synaptical,
I already add the "alias ls='ls -F --color' into .bashrc and re-source it, but the file type can't be show in color? What's my problem, is that releated to the RXVT setting?

On Redhat system, it set the LS_COLORS

Code:

LS_COLORS='no=00:fi=00:di=01;34:ln=01;36:pi=40;33:so=01;35:bd=40;33;01:cd=40;33;01:or=01;05;37;41:mi=01;05;37;41:ex=01;32:*.cmd=01;32:*.exe=01;32:*.com=01;32:*.btm=01;32:*.bat=01;32:*.sh=01;32:*.csh=01;32:*.tar=01;31:*.tgz=01;31:*.arj=01;31:*.taz=01;31:*.lzh=01;31:*.zip=01;31:*.z=01;31:*.Z=01;31:*.gz=01;31:*.bz2=01;31:*.bz=01;31:*.tz=01;31:*.rpm=01;31:*.cpio=01;31:*.jpg=01;35:*.gif=01;35:*.bmp=01;35:*.xbm=01;35:*.xpm=01;35:*.png=01;35:*.tif=01;35:'

but Slackware didn't have this setting, and I already export the COLORS=/etc/DIR_COLORS.
and how to set the color for RXVT??

Thanks.

I had the same problem running urxvt on opensuse 10.2. It seems that the terminal program urxvt is missing in the file
/etc/DIR_COLORS.

Just put a row "TERM urxvt" in this file, and the system script /etc/bash.bashrc will give you the correct environment variables (LS_COLORS and LS_OPTIONS).
