[Solved] How can I make non-DE Arch look like the ArchIso environment?
I currently run a desktop environment on my machine, so this is more of a curiosity thing. Back when I first installed Arch, I was impressed by the crisp, color-coded text appearance of the archiso installation environment. But after I rebooted into my fresh new install, the terminal was at a much lower resolution, and was totally black and white, no fun colors at all.
It might be fun to have a super-minimal install on a machine now and again that doesn't use a DE, and I want it to look cool. Where should I start looking to find configuration files to tweak the appearance of my terminal, outside of any DE-based emulators?

The resolution is KMS and the colours are the Zsh config, grml.

Neat! Just for completeness' sake for other readers, I'll link the wiki pages for the things you've referenced here.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ke … de_setting
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Zsh
It looks like the Zsh page has some great info and links for me to follow up on.
Thanks! I'll mark this one tentatively solved, given that I can pursue the specifics on my own. That was quick, haha.
