What console?
 
Well, I have been using rxvt and I like it, so I will probably keep using it, but how can I modify what it looks like... But thats not the point of this post, What other ones are out there and which ones are good.

xterm is the standard one that comes with X. If you like something more colourfull then try Eterm which allows you to set the background image.

Ok, well uhh how do I change the colours on rxvt?

don't know about the background, but you can change the text colors by editing your /etc/DIR_COLORS file...

make a file in your home directory named .Xresources
mine has this in it (example to get you started)
Code:
rxvt*geometry: 110x40
rxvt*background: #010B45
rxvt*foreground: Wheat
rxvt*cursorColor: Orchid
rxvt*saveLines: 10000
rxvt*font: *fixed-bold-r-*-15-*-*
rxvt*scrollBar_right: True
any command line option you can use with rxvt can go in here
rxvt --help

to read in a new .Xresources for testing (happens automatically on login otherwise)
xrdb .Xresources
