Terminal colours

I've configured my gnome terminal colours as per I like them according to an excellent guide in the Wiki; but now when I ALT+Fx out to a "real" terminal, I cannot read my input text.

Is there a way to specify what colours are being used depending upon the terminal?

Re: Terminal colours

I set my console colours with the following in .bashrc:

if [ "$TERM" = "linux" ]; then
echo -en "\e]P0000000"
echo -en "\e]P19e1828"
echo -en "\e]P2aece92"
echo -en "\e]P3968a38"
echo -en "\e]P4414171"
echo -en "\e]P5963c59"
echo -en "\e]P6418179"
echo -en "\e]P7bebebe"
echo -en "\e]P8666666"
echo -en "\e]P9cf6171"
echo -en "\e]PAc5f779"
echo -en "\e]PBfff796"
echo -en "\e]PC4186be"
echo -en "\e]PDcf9ebe"
echo -en "\e]PE71bebe"
echo -en "\e]PFffffff"
clear
fi

Hope that helps.

Re: Terminal colours

Cool, didn't know about that yet. Quite odd, that I have the same colours since a few months in my .Xdefaults. ;-)
