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
