[SOLVED] Terminal emulator & GRUB coloring

[anon222]

Misko, that is a great idea. Having root as either bold or a different color just makes sense.

It's logical.

I like that idea too, Misko.

I think it would be helpfull. Some other distros use this by default.

I'm surprised people have not been doing this within their profiles.  I've had my terminal colors and PS1 set for years across distros.
Here is my prompt configuration (compilation of various online resources over time):

Thanks for sharing riser. +

Great idea, Misko, especially considering newcomers to Linux would be a bit overwhelmed in having to figure that out.

I have configured it myself. BUT I definitely would prefer it coming out of the box this way.

In addition to this and even more important for me would be to implement that broken links are shown in a different color like this:

The last couple of days I have extensively worked with softlinks and it was a huge hassle with the default setting not showing valid and broken links in different colors.

Thanks, riser, for sharing!

LL-user everything is customizable. Those who remember DOS would easily adapt.
I think those os us who use the terminal more often would like to have some colors.
Those who don't probably think it's too geeky.
Thanks for your suggestion. We'll see about that.
