console colours: I don't want them

celettu · 2007-12-01 20:06:07

Any term in arch has a colour-scheme...like any line with a # in front shows as green, and such...perfect for a dark background, and during the install. But now, in gnome-terminal, with a white background, it makes things unreadable.

How do I get rid of those?

That will depend on your terminal emulator. Some of them, like urxvt, xterm, etx, use X resources (stuff declared in a ~/.Xdefaults or ~/.Xresources file). I think the gnome-terminal has a menu with options about colours?

Help me understand here - are you talking about an editor? My terminal doesn't highlight lines with # in front, but vim does.

You could simply switch your vim colorscheme, if so.

try setting every gnome-terminal color to black... (it's faster from gconf-editr)

Thanks for all the replies!

phrakture: yes I do. Here every terminal uses a colour scheme I may have picked during installation...I don't actually know. Changing the settings in gnome terminal and Konsole doesn't actually do something

peet: it does, but I see no difference

phrode: I'll try that...but after breakfast! Thanks
