Hi all, Gentoo Weekly News mentioned that among the new features of Portage-2.1 there was Colour remappings: "you can now remap the colours that Portage will use in its output." But the man page says nothing about how to do this, nor what colour names it knows about. The gentoo-wiki has nothing, googling turned up nothing useful, and on the forums there's just one post that mentions changing the yellow. Reading the code shows that it knows about:
blue darkblue fuchsia purple red darkred turquoise teal green darkgreen yellow brown white lightgray darkgray black So for the Konsole with a light background I made the following /etc/portage/color.map: # Map the four brightest colours to their darker forms: yellow=brown turquoise=teal green=darkgreen fuchsia=purple # For an extra touch of Gentoo: darkgreen=purple (But replacing the last purple with darkblue looks better.) Enjoy. Benno -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
