console colors
Hi,
Does anybody know how to change the linux default console color ? It is grey on black by default but I want it to be green on black. Best Regards |
Depends which console you're using. If you're running under Gnome then it's probably gnome-terminal, which you can change the colours by going to Edit > Profiles > Default > Edit > Colours. If you're under KDE then it's probably konsole and there's a similar option somewhere in the menus.

Thank you cdhgee,
but I mean none of them, I do not mean the terminal window, I mean the command ptompt mode console, that you access through Ctrl-Alt-F1. Best for you |
Hummm... Good question!!
I will look into it ;) |
Well there is a lot of places they mention about setterm... try
setterm -foreground black -background white -store it didn't work for my distro (RH9) but maybe... Another popular way is changing the background directely in the console.c file and recompiling... more news if I find anything else |
Dear LuggerHouse,
I added the following line to the end of .bashrc export PS1="\\033[1;32m[\u@\h \W]\\$ " and now I have the MATRIX console.:cool: (Green on Black). have fun. |
Thanks Smart :)
I already do that ;-) My problem start when I would like to change the "on black"... I settled up my ssh program (Secure CRT) to display a white background with black writing for Production servers but I was never able to set this directely on the console... Cheers! |
