How do I get more colors in the console?

I'm wanting to experiment with using emacs in the console ($TERM = linux) but it only has 8 colors, all of them ugly. Is there a way to have it provide more than 8 colors? (This will be without X, obviously).

Which version did you install? According to their homepage fbterm provides 256 colors since version 1.4.
How did you try to install? Installing fbterm-1.7.0-2 from the AUR using yaourt went flawlessly here. Dependencies are pretty standard (gcc-libs, libx86, fontconfig) so there should be no problem, really.
(I didn't run it, though.)

  • In the New group from layers, How can I get more colors on the Folders options in Photoshop CC?

    Hola
    There is any way that I can get more or make my own colors to distinguish the folders in Photoshop CC?
    Please, let me know
    Thanks

    If you're very good at writing code and willing to hack your copy of Photoshop—but, then, if you were you wouldn't be asking here, I suppose.

  • How can i get more info about the sent data in RTP?

    Hello.
    I'm working with the examples AVTransmitt2 and AV Receive2 and i want to get more information about the data that it is being sent to de receiver side. In AVTrasmitt2 i only see a calling to processor.start();. How could i know each packet that AvTransmit2 sends to the other side. I want info like the size of the data, the quality, format, etc..

    Hi!
    As I mentioned above. RTPSocketAdapter has two inner classes, SockOutputStream and SockInputStream.
    SockOutputStream have a write method which is called when RTP data is sent over the NET. SockInputStream have a read method which is called when RTP data is received.
    If you for instance want to know exactly what is sent you can parse the byte array that comes into write.
    Like this:
    * An inner class to implement an OutputDataStream based on UDP sockets.
    class SockOutputStream implements OutputDataStream {
         DatagramSocket sock;
         InetAddress addr;
         int port;
         boolean isRTCP;
         public SockOutputStream(DatagramSocket sock, InetAddress addr, int port, boolean isRTCP) {
              this.sock = sock;
              this.addr = addr;
              this.port = port;
         public int write(byte data[], int offset, int len) {
              if(isRTCP){
                   parseAndPrintRTCPData(data);               
              }else{
                   parseAndPrintRTPData(data);
              try {
                   sock.send(new DatagramPacket(data, offset, len, addr, port));
              } catch (Exception e) {
                   return -1;
              if(debug){
                   System.out.println(debugName+": written "+len+" bytes to address:port: "+addr+":"+port);
              return len;
    private void parseAndPrintRTPData(byte[] data) {

         byte[] rtpHeader = new byte[8];

    Hope this clarifies things.

  • RFE - Bring more color to the console

    Hi,
    first posting it here so people can discuss it.
    What i would like to propose is bringing a little more color in the default archlinux console:
    * [user@host ~] $ colors
    * grep --color=auto colors
    And to give an idea how that looks:
    Grep colors
    Console colors
    And this is how i did that (in .bashrc):
    # Check for an interactive session
    [ -z "$PS1" ] && return
    alias ls='ls --color=auto'
    alias grep='grep --color=auto'
    PS1='\033[01m[\033[0m \u\033[01;37m @ \033[0m\h \033[36m\W \033[01;37m]\033[0;32m \$\033[0m '
    Now i would propose that this gets included in archlinux itself so every new arch user can enjoy these fancy colors ^_^
    This can probably done by editing the global bashrc or the user .bashrc but i leave that up to the people that know what's best.
    Let me know what you think of this idea.
    Btw. for the grep color. That adjustment is already in bashrc for ls.. but not for grep, so it makes sense to me to include grep..
    Regards,
    Mark

    While I can see that it is exciting for you to discover these possibilities, I firmly recommend not enabling them by default.
    1. It is not the Arch way:
    http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/The_Arch_Way wrote:The Arch Linux system places precedence upon elegance of design as well as clean, simple code, rather than unnecessary patching, automation, eye candy or "newbie-friendliness"
    2. It is easy enough for anyone to do. I assume most Arch users already do similar configuration and/or customization to their console behaviour. See #1.
    3. It can break functionality for people that use retarded terminals.
    4. It is a matter of taste. A lot of people prefer gray on black terminals, and that's the traditional style too. If the user wants it different, (s)he may change it according to her wishes (see #1).

  • How do I get more color highlighting options in preview, how do I get more color highlighting options in preview

    The new version of Preview on Mountain Lion has limited the colors available when using the annotate tool (highlighter), how can I access more options?

    Preview used to allow the user to select highlight colors from the color picker. This is no longer the case.
    I have requested that Apple add it back at http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html.

  • How can I get more freedom from the drum sounds?

    I am looking for a more free, less repetative sound. Before I venture to purchase an external kit or drum software I wanted to first see if there was a way to maximize my freedom within garage band itself. is there any way I can program the built-in keyboard to play drum sounds automatically as hit the key or does it have to be a tiresome process of recording each individual drum sound and then somehow making them all work together in a loop? The latter sounds like a no option option.

    To add to the above question. What I am asking is if there is a way, through the built in keyboard, to make many drum sounds coalesce together in sort of the same way as you could on a drum machine. And then I would record this coalescing of sounds and use them as the drum sound for the song.

  • How do I get more the features?

    How do I get more features for my iMovie?

    You can't restore changes that are caused by removing support for features like happened with the status bar. Such changes can only be restored via an extension (Status-4-Evar). Other changes can be undone by toggling prefs or via code in userChrome.css that doesn't require an extension, but do require editing the userChrome.css file and adding specific CSS code.
    See this mozillaZine forum thread about "Fx4 .css tweaks":

  • I bought my 20" iMac in Nov of 2007 and when I try to purchase the upgrade for lion I'm told I need 2GB of memory and I only have 1GB.  How can I get more?  I am currently running snow leopard

    Trying to upgrade to Lion on my 20" iMac that I bought in Nov. 2007.  Currently I'm running on MAC OS X version 10.6.8.  When I tried to buy the upgrade I got a response that Lion requires 2 GB of memory and I only have 1 GB.  How can I get more memory and will my computer be compatible with Lion when I do get more memory?

    Yes you can install more RAM. Up to 6 GBs. Two - 200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMMs. For the maximum use one 4 GB and one 2 GB. Otherwise install a pair of 2 GB modules for a total of 4 GBs.
    You can purchase suitable RAM at DataMem or OWC. OWC also has video tutorials on installation.

  • How to get more downloads at the same time

    On my old computer I could download 20 files at the same time (or more, depending on the size). I've got a new computer now but Safari only downloads 4 files at a time: the other files are put on hold and start only when anotehr file has finished downloading.
    How can I enable more downloads at the same time?

    I'm not using any enhancings apps, so... that can't be it. I did go from 10.3.x to 10.4.x, but I guess that's not the point either. Maybe some internetsettings is keeping things from going full throttle...?
    I download from Usenet a lot and downloading multiple files with Safari was very nice: I'd get 20 50 Mb files within a few minutes on my computer. Now I can only get 4 files in that same time (I guess it's a bit faster but not much: I have a VERY fast connection!). Okay, all in all it still only takes half an hour (probably less) to download 3 Gb this way, but I just wonder what's holding Safari back...
    (BTW Downloading big files spread into rars is VERY nice! If I had to download a 3 Gb file as ONE file, it would take a LOT more time...! Makes you wonder why not all companies offer their software (specially larger files) in smaller parts... They used to do that in the early internet days because otherwise you would never ever get that file downloaded on that 56k6 line, but nowadays it still would be great if they offered everything in small parts!

I had the Hardcore mix and a rap mix and classic rock and grunge mixes...now I don't...I kinda want those back...the mixes I have now make no sense as most the songs on each do not correlate AT ALL to the genre mix they have been placed in. If someone could give me an answer that'd be great.

    1. Don't confuse "Apple ID" with iTunes Account ID.  You can have many Apple IDs but only one iTunes account active at a time.
    2. If you "changed" your iTunes account ID, you actually have 2 accounts - one under the old name plus the new name.
    3. You can't merge the accounts - they remain separate.  Apps purcahsed under the old account name will update ONLY WHEN THE PHONE IS SIGNED IN TO THE OLD ACCOUNT NAME  and visa versa.
    4. Likewise, you can sync only the apps, music, media purchased under the account the phone AND iTunes are signed in to.
