Bruno Posted May 9, 2004 Author Posted May 9, 2004 How does it look Colin . . did you give the font used for the prompt a nice color too ?? Did you make the transparency dark enough so you can still see what you are typing ? Bruno Quote
kamicota Posted May 9, 2004 Posted May 9, 2004 Nope BrunoJust the same consoleBUT I noticed this is happening at the prompts--->>> kamicota@15[kamicota]$ the one before was kamicota@14[kamicota]$ and the one before that was kamicota@13[kamicota]$Colin Quote
Bruno Posted May 9, 2004 Author Posted May 9, 2004 ColinIn the GUI that Quint showed you . . . . where the dog is: tick the box transparent and do the slider in the middle . . then to the left of that box you see a White box with all kind of names . . choose "Linux Colors" . . . then above the Dog-box you see "Konsole colors" , put it on "custom"and click on the rechangular box beside it and pick a nice green color . . . then save schema and clost the console and open it again.
