Bored of the normal everyday terminal colors? These can be easily changed by right clicking on the terminal window, clicking preferences and changing the colors:
You can see how my terminal colors are different than standard:
If you want to know where this information is stored on your filesystem:
#!/bin/bash cat ~/.config/terminator/config
My current palette:
palette = "#2e3436:#cc0000:#4e9a06:#c4a000:#c48dff:#75507b:#06989a:#d3d7cf:#555753:#e52222:#a6e32d:#fc951e:#3465a4:#fa2573:#67d9f0:#f2f2f2"
The same can be done for gnome-terminal, but that stores it’s defaults in gconf. You can retrieve them using gconftool-2:
#!/bin/bash gconftool-2 --all-entries /apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default
This is fun as these colors carry over into Vim etc, so when you are not using the graphical versions, you can still spice up your syntax highlighting.
