Thats the first step I think. Not sure what you mean by console. If that's the xterm that, when exited, will TERM twm, then I've tried it and all I get is black. If it's a virtual terminal, then colorls produces nice colors there. I've tried it in the following xterms: xterm & xterm -ls & xterm +cm & xterm +cm -ls & colorls -Gl and colorls -G produce nothing but black. _ _ __ _ _ / \ / \ / | / \ / \ University of Washington () | | / / / / | \ | | Chemical Engineering /\ | |/ / / /_ | \ \ | | | / / | | |\ \ | | | \ \ __| | | \ \| | | |\ \ \ \ | | \ | I bask in my own insignificance. | | \ \ \ \ | | \ | \_/ \_\ \_| \_/ \_/
