10.3: Colored output from ls (revisited)
Authored by: lovethedj on Nov 05, '03 02:19:44AM

ok, I now have colored ls, but how do I now adjust the colors???

the LSCOLORS variable lets you associate file and directory types with colors, but I would like to know how to specify the "ANSI" colors using RGB values. The default colors are just bad!!!

10.3: Colored output from ls (revisited)
Authored by: lovethedj on Feb 04, '04 05:23:36PM

Ok, I figured out how to assign different colors to types in terminal - simply open the color picker (cmd+shift+c), pick a color, drag and drop the color from the color swatch on top of the text you want to change. Repeat for each type ... cool - but there are problems:

1) how do you modify the background color?
2) These changes are not saved as the default colors - how do say make these my default colors?
