Colorful Console?

I would like to share some console colors.

This is a 3 step process.

1) Run this script: download script

#!/bin/bash
# Original: http://frexx.de/xterm-256-notes/
#           http://frexx.de/xterm-256-notes/data/colortable16.sh
# Modified by Aaron Griffin


FGNAMES=(' black' '   red' ' green' 'yellow' '  blue' 'magnta' '  cyan' ' white')
BGNAMES=('BLK' 'RED' 'GRN' 'YEL' 'BLU' 'MAG' 'CYN' 'WHT')
for b in $(seq 0 7); do
    bg=$(($b+40))

    echo -en "33[0m ${BGNAMES[$b]} :: "
    for f in $(seq 0 7); do
        echo -en "33[${bg}m33[$(($f+30))m ${FGNAMES[$f]} "
    done

    echo -en "33[0mn33[0m     :: "
    for f in $(seq 0 7); do
        echo -en "33[${bg}m33[1;$(($f+30))m ${FGNAMES[$f]} "
    done
    echo -e "33[0m"

    if [ "$b" -lt 7 ]; then
        echo "     -------------------------------------------------------------------"
    fi
done

echo
echo

2) Check that no one else has the same colors, then take a screenshot (same format of the monthly screenshot thread, kthx)

screen2006.04.18_02.49t.png

3) Post your .Xdefaults colors too

.Xdefaults

urxvt*foreground:   #EFEFEF
urxvt*background:   #000000

! Black + DarkGrey
urxvt*color0:       #000000
urxvt*color8:       #666666

! DarkRed + Red
urxvt*color1:       #b45151
urxvt*color9:       #fe8686

! DarkGreen + Green
urxvt*color2:       #aece92
urxvt*color10:      #97fa97

! DarkYellow + Yellow
urxvt*color3:       Khaki3
urxvt*color11:      #efe58b

! DarkBlue + Blue
urxvt*color4:       #2797d8
urxvt*color12:      #86cdea

! DarkMangenta + Mangenta
urxvt*color5:       #aa6eaf
urxvt*color13:      #cb96ce

!DarkCyan + Cyan
urxvt*color6:       #418179
urxvt*color14:      #71bebe

! LightGrey + White
urxvt*color7:       #bebebe
urxvt*color15:      #ffffff

I think those were rezza's...

You get the idea though.  Go forth and share one more way to make your linux look sexy.

.Xdefaults? Nah - this is Eterm, so here's the relevant part of the theme config:

begin color
  foreground #aaaaaa
  background black
  cursor #ffff00
  cursor_text #880000
  pointer white
  video normal
  color  0 #000000
  color  1 #9e1828
  color  2 #aece91
  color  3 #968a38
  color  4 #414171
  color  5 #963c59
  color  6 #418179
  color  7 #bebebe
  color  8 #666666
  color  9 #cf6171
  color 10 #c5f779
  color 11 #fff796
  color 12 #4186be
  color 13 #cf9ebe
  color 14 #71bebe
  color 15 #ffffff
  color bd #ffffff
  color ul #ffffff
end color

Can't remember where I got them.

Ok, I'm new to linux, what are you using to show your info at the bottom of your console? Date, time, etc.?  Also the lines that go accross the screen, etc.

Again, I'm new to Linux, all I have is 

[root@rick rick]#

Thanks!

man screen

I'm using an application called screen which is a terminal multiplexer.  Basically, instead of having tabs/multiple urxvt instances, I use screen.  It's my #2 used linux app, behind ZSH.

The lines going accross are part of my 2 line prompt.  Some people don't like it, but I think it helps me compartmentalize the output I see on a large terminal like I usually run.

Wow, screen looks impressive, I think I'll play with it some.  As a starting point, would you mind posting your screenrc file or whaterver you use to set it up.  I'm reading throuhg the man pages, it's a little overwhelming... Thanks for your help!

Re: Colorful Console?

After a little internet digging, I've found some new colors.

color.png

.Xdefaults:

*background:  black
*foreground:  gray
*cursorColor: yellow
*color0:      black
*color1:      #9e1828
*color2:      #aece92
*color3:      #968a38
*color4:      #414171
*color5:      #963c59
*color6:      #418179
*color7:      gray
*color8:      gray40
*color9:      #cf6171
*color10:     #c5f779
*color11:     #fff796
*color12:     #4186be
*color13:     #cf9ebe
*color14:     #71bebe
*color15:     white

They might be rasterman, but it doesn't look the same to me.  One thing you'll notice is the cursor color.  On a dark terminal, I've found it nice to have a glaring yellow cursor, especially in vim when I seem to lose track of it.

Re: Colorful Console?

Thanks phrakture, now I hate my colors. I liked my colors, until I ran the colortest thing and realized my colors were all goofy. Now  I have to re-theme everything because my colors are right.

Sigh. It's a cruel world.

Re: Colorful Console?

Okay, I need a little help on this one.  I've never attempted to change my colors before and can't get it working right.  I use Xfce's Terminal, and thus don't know which style of config I really need.  I tried using the Xterm style, and then did <code>xrdb -merge ~/.Xdefaults</code> to try and load them, but ran across an error:

Predefined macro file '/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.0.3/include/mcpp_gcc40_predef_old.h' is not found

So I figured I'd ignore that and just restart X, but that also had no effect.  Anything obvious I'm missing?  Also, is there a way to change the colors on the regular command line when you're not in X?

    do echo -en "$EINS 33[$FG33[$BG  $T  33[0m"; 
  done 
  echo; 
done 
echo

you could change it anything.
