And yes, ls colors will change, as long as You use the xterminal which colors you have changed, eg xterm, rxvt and so on . I think there is a third alternative to rgb.txt and ~/.Xdefaults. bash DIRCOLORS is an option and it will affect ls. | I used rxvt for many years until cut/paste stopped working for | me a couple years back. | Hmmm...

I want a white | background and a black foreground. | As my previous posting stated, you can set whatever color (your preferred xterminal app supports) for background and foreground , ie you can choose white foreground on black background or any other combination you prefer: For instance XTerm*background: #ffffff XTerm*foreground: #000000 in your ยจ/.Xdefaults should set black on white as default values for any xterm you open (although portage could override it (?) since it's a python app(?) if my memory doesn't fail me. Right now i can't verify if it works or not because of my / disk crapping out on me.) I'm stuck Windoze again :( I'm surprised that turning off colors for portage/emerge doesn't work. It sounds like a very odd behaviour - it has always worked for me whenever I tried it (although I prefer using colors - a matter of personal taste - or lack thereof :) //Cheers Tony -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (MingW32) iD8DBQFGFT9GJDzv6DN+QUkRAubdAJ9/U6IlF1q4VfMqBwAnKuMcyPvqsgCfY8Ub DbF5xrreouE0BhP5JphKq1k= =KLL9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
