Hi Everyone
I'm trying to configure URxvt to use the Solarized scheme by Ethan Schoonover, but I can't get colours to display in the bash prompt. URxvt is clearly diplaying colours because vim is showing syntax highlighting nicely.
I'm missing something really fundamental here, but I don't know what it is. Do I need to configure something in bash?
Here are my files (Yeah, pretty basic right now):
.Xresources
!! URxvt Settings ..............................................................
!! Use colours
URxvt.useColor: true
!! Hide scroll bar
URxvt.scrollBar: false
!! Colour Settings .............................................................
!! drop in Solarized colorscheme for Xresources/Xdefaults

Well ... you need to put colors in the prompt.
There are no color codes in your PS1.
edit: in retrospect I see this may look a bit abrupt. I could instead give examples of how to put color codes into PS1, but there are so many examples out there I hope it is sufficient to point you in the right direction: the PS1= string needs to set which colors you want it to use, there are no defaults. A quick googling will give plenty of examples. Color codes will look like either \033[Xm or \e[Xm with X replaced by a suitable number (31-37 to get you started). It's also good to enclose these in \[ \] pairs, any site with examples will probable explain why.

You can also get a bunch of ideas for fancy colored prompts in this thread: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=50885
I like to define the colors before I use them so I don't have to use the messy escape sequences in the actual prompt:
RS="\[\033[0m\]" # reset
HC="\[\033[1m\]" # hicolor
FBLE="\[\033[34m\]" # foreground blue
FRED="\[\033[31m\]" # foreground red
PS1="$HC$FBLE\w$RS $ "
#PS1="$HC$FRED[\u:$FBLE\w]$RS# "
The first prompt is my normal user prompt, and the next one (commented out) I use in root's .bashrc.

Thanks for your replies, guys.
I realise I wasn't asking the right question. I know how to modify my PS1, what I wanted to know was how (if it's possible) I can get coloured output in URxvt for commands like ls. i.e. highlighting directories, files, executables, symlinks etc.
In retrospect, I don't know why I hadn't phrased my question like that.
Edit: @2ManyDogs, predefining colours is a nice tip!

See trapd00rs colours for an incredibly detailed example...
