"Black and white" irssi
Ever since I installed ArchLinux, irssi comes up all black and white. Before, when I used Fedora, it had the standard theme colors of irssi. Now, with just the black and white and grey, it's very hard to tell what's important and what's going on where.
Any hints on what may cause this?

Re: "Black and white" irssi
Set your default $TERM to xterm-xfree86.
I have ~/.Xdefaults that has a line:
xterm*termName: xterm-xfree86
Then, in your ~/.xinitrc, add this line:
xrdb ~/.Xdefaults
That will set the default xterm $TERM to xterm-xfree86.

Robot? Nah, you just got lucky. Lately I've been away from the internet more because I'm trying to get the same...
