You can use ansi escape sequences to modify the look of your prompt or to
display certain messages in color in your scripts etc or $HOME/.*rc files
, e.g., .bash_profile etc. I'm not sure how much you want to modify or
what you want to do. But a quick ( and perhaps lame ) example might be
typing : echo -e "\o33[35mExample color sequence\033[37m" at the prompt.
It prints up the words "Example color sequence" in purple onto the
console. If you put that into your .bashrc ( with some different string
etc.) it would display this everytime you logon. You can also use
different characters etc. You can find different docs, or whatever, on the
web. Not sure if this is what you meant, though.
Of course you can also change the bgcolor and fonts etc. with setterm
program. But I'm sure this is not the kind of mod you mean. :-) Just
another FWIW.
