i am looking for a config of sorts so i can change the standard terminal config to have folder in different colors, certain files etc…
It seem all i can have is text (general) and bold for some items.
I just do not know the commands for a color scheme config. Or does this need a different terminal all together?
dir_colors (man dir_colors, dircolors --print-database) is a utility to help with LS_COLORS.
/etc/skel/.dir_colors is copied to the user’s home directory (~/.dir_colors).
These 4 bullet items are from gnu.org and contain nuggets of info:
There is default style definition that is hard-coded in the ‘dircolors’ program. The user can also define their own definitions in a file such as ~/.dir_colors. This style definition contains explicit terminal escape sequences; thus, it can only be used with consoles and terminal emulators, and each style definition applies only to a certain class of mostly-compatible terminal emulators.
The dircolors program, when invoked, translates such a style definition to a sequence of shell statements that sets an environment variable LS_COLORS.
The shell executes these statements, and thus sets the environment variable LS_COLORS.
The program looks at the environment variable and emits the listed escape sequences. GNU libtextstyle
Checkout the default ~/.bashrc for dir_colors, specifically the line using eval.
Now i installed the theme for ZSH and it works great.
So i will check this as well. I just think if folders have a different color, it makes it easier to read.
