[Solved] ncmpcpp & Bash Colors?

d3snoopy · 2010-08-28 20:57:37

I'm posting this in the newbie corner, because I suspect that it's a really noob question. Plus, this is my first post:

I'm messing around with ncmpcpp, trying to get it looking nice. I found the "post your ncmpcpp config" thread, and found a couple of configurations that I really liked... mostly because of the color schemes. So, I tryied copying the configs linked, and the colors end up really different on my screen.

At first I thought it was something to do with the config file, but I don't think so anymore... I've tried looking for bash color schemes, but haven't found anything that really seemed to do what I wanted.

Example:
See the config found in this post: linky

Look at the linked screenshot, and compare it to what I see on my machine:

My machine

What I've got: rxvt-Unicode-256color, ncmpcpp.

So, what's the stupid little detail that I'm missing?

Colours are defined in your .Xdefaults: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xdefaults

Beautiful... and the example shown matches what I was going for. Thanks.

No problem. Please prepend [Solved] to your thread title.

And welcome to the boards!

Done. Thanks.

I'm migrating over from Ubuntu... I've been slowly becoming less "window-ey"

Kinda off-topic- What's the best way for a relative noob, non programmer to contribute to arch?

Well, if you are familar with making PKGBUILDs, then you could contribute to the AUR. Otherwise, you can give support on the forums.

There is a page on the Wiki detailing how you can contribute: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Getting_Involved

You can also donate, if you would like to make a monetary contribution.

Essentially, there are any number of avenues for you to support Arch; it depends on your skills and your enthusiasm. Read the Wiki, become as familiar as you can with the Arch Way and then lend a hand where you feel best able to help out - all and any contributions are welcomed if they are consistent with the Arch philosophy.
