[SOLVED] Console colors make text illegible (i.e. white on yellow)

As shown in this image, colored text on my console often appears as white on yellow or vice-versa.  When this happens, I can't read the text.
I believe these colors are the archlinux defaults, or specified by the programs I'm running.  I don't think its a product of my customizations but I could be wrong.  The text appears this way in bash or zsh.
I've been searching, but I can't find the right way to control the colors.  I'm not searching for a color scheme, although if that's the only solution, I'm open to suggestions. What I really want is a way to say, "never use colors as similar as yellow and white together."
Thanks for any help.

There's no way to do specifically that - unless you set your TERM to something that cannot use color at all.
But you can easily define what the 14 default colors are.  Most programs don't actually specify a color, they just select from the 14 defaults (often just 7 really):
# from bashrc
# #RRGGBB
echo -en "\e]P0181818" #black
echo -en "\e]P8000000" #darkgrey
echo -en "\e]P1a62a3e" #darkred
echo -en "\e]P9f04758" #red
echo -en "\e]P238912b" #darkgreen
echo -en "\e]PA60aa2b" #green
echo -en "\e]P3b27d12" #brown
echo -en "\e]PBddb62b" #yellow
echo -en "\e]P4355c9a" #darkblue
echo -en "\e]PC45a3e6" #blue
echo -en "\e]P57c4f9f" #darkmagenta
echo -en "\e]PDc953ef" #magenta
echo -en "\e]P6258f8f" #darkcyan
echo -en "\e]PE60c6c8" #cyan
echo -en "\e]P7aab8b8" #lightgrey
echo -en "\e]PFd0d0d0" #white
clear
Also, setting a good font can help readability.
EDIT: sorry, the above code is for TTY.  For terminals in X, you'd just set values in your Xresources/Xdefaults:
*color0: #000000
*color8: #666666
*color1: #A62A3E
*color9: #F04758
*color2: #38912B
*color10: #60AA2B
*color3: #B27D12
*color11: #DDB62B
*color4: #355C9A
*color12: #45A3E6
*color5: #7C4F9F
*color13: #C953EF
*color6: #258F8F
*color14: #60C6C8
*color7: #77858C
*color15: #C0C0C0

  • [SOLVED] pacman-color base text is black

    I would like the 'base' text (normal stuff, like the text telling you repos are up to date) in pacman-color to be grey, as I am going to be using a terminal emulator with a black background. Unfortunately, pacman-color seems bent on using a black font for its text. I can change most colors in /etc/pacman.d/color.conf, but not that. I tried adding a new line, 'Black = white' or similar, but it complains it doesn't know 'Black'.
    Any help? Thanks!

    Doesn't work
    EDIT: Got it working, but I have no clue how. Just randomly started. Go figure. In case someone else comes along with the same problem, I think the fix happened when editing my .Xdefaults... here's part of mine to try and see if something fixes it.
    xterm*background: black
    xterm*foreground: light grey
    xterm*cursorColor: navy
    xterm*pointerColor: white
    xterm*pointerColorBackground: black

  • [SOLVED] urxvt colors and moc theme

    Hello!
    I am a KDE user and usually i am using Konsole. For some applications (like htop and moc) i use urxvt (patched version from AUR). The problem is in colors. When i launch moc in Konsole the theme colours are right but not in urxvt too. That happens with htop also. URxvt doesn't follow theme backrground color (uses its own) and foreground colors too.

    Moc config file:
    # This is a configuration file for the MOC player. It should be named
    # 'config' and placed in the ~/.moc directory. As this file can specify
    # commands which invoke other applications, MOC will refuse to start if it
    # is not owned by either root or the current user, or if it is writable by
    # anyone other than its owner. All options are given with their default
    # values, and therefore commented.
    # Comments begin with '#'.
    # You can use quotes and escape ('\') in parameters.
    # You can have variable values substituted by enclosing the variable name
    # as "${...}". (This only applies to the portion of the option following
    # the ' ='.) Variables are substituted first from the environment then,
    # if not found, from the configuration options. (Note that the value of
    # a configuration option substituted is that which it has at the time the
    # substitution variable is encountered.) If there is a naming conflict
    # between an environment and configuration variable, you may be able to
    # resolve it by using lowercase as the environment variable matches are
    # case-sensitive whereas the configuration variables are not.
    # You can also use the form "${...:-...}" where the value in the second
    # position will be substituted if the variable name given in the first
    # position is unset or null.
    # So, for example:
    # MusicDir = /music/${USER:-public}
    # Fastdir1 = ${MusicDir}/mp3/rock
    # Fastdir2 = ${MusicDir}/mp3/electronic
    # Fastdir3 = ${MusicDir}/mp3/rap
    # Fastdir4 = ${MusicDir}/mp3/etc
    # Variable names are limited to those accepted by the BASH shell; that
    # is, those comprising the upper- and lowercase ASCII characters, digits
    # and the underscore.
    # If you need to use the "${" sequence for any other purpose, write "$${"
    # and it will be replaced by "${" and not treated as a substitution.
    # Some options take lists of strings as their values. The strings are
    # separated by colons. Additional strings can be appended to the list
    # using "+ =" in place of a plain "=" to assign the value. For an example,
    # see the XTerms option.
    # You can override any configuration option when you run MOC using the
    # '-O' command line option:
    # mocp -O AutoNext =no -O messagelingertime=1 -O XTerms+=xxt:xwt
    # This command line option can be repeated as many times as needed and
    # the configuration option name is not case sensitive. (Note that MOC
    # does not perform variable substitution on the value of such overridden
    # configuration options.) Most option values are set before the
    # configuration file is processed (which allows the new values to be
    # picked up by substitutions), however list-valued options are overridden
    # afterwards (which gives the choice of whether the configured values are
    # replaced or added to).
    # Remember that the client and server are separate processes and the
    # server will retain the configuration values formed from the environment
    # within which it was originally started.

    # PreferredDecoders allows you to specify which decoder should be used

    # identifies the audio format and 'decoders' is a comma-separated list
    # of decoders in order of preference.
    # The audio format identifier may be either a filename extension or a
    # MIME media type. If the latter, the format is 'type/subtype' (e.g.,
    # 'audio/flac'). Because different systems may give different MIME
    # media types, any 'x-' prefix of the subtype is ignored both here and
    # in the actual file MIME type (so all combinations of 'audio/flac' and
    # 'audio/x-flac' match each other).
    # For Internet streams the matching is done on MIME media type and on
    # actual content. For files the matches are made on MIME media type
    # (if the 'UseMimeMagic' option is set) and on filename extension. The
    # MIME media type of a file is not determined until the first entry for
    # MIME is encountered in the list.
    # The matching is done in the order of appearance in the list with any
    # entries added from the command line being matched before those listed
    # here. Therefore, if you place all filename extension entries before
    # all MIME entries you will speed up MOC's processing of directories
    # (which could be significant for remote file systems).
    # The decoder list may be empty, in which case no decoders will be used
    # for files (and files with that audio format ignored) while Internet
    # streams will be assessed on the actual content. Any decoder position
    # may contain an asterisk, in which case any decoder not otherwise listed
    # which can handle the audio format will be used. It is not an error to
    # list the same decoder twice, but neither does it make sense to do so.
    # If you have a mix of audio and non-audio files in your directories, you
    # may wish to include entries at top of the list which ignore non-audio
    # files by extension.
    # In summary, the PreferredDecoders option provides fine control over the
    # type of matching which is performed (filename extension, MIME media
    # type and streamed media content) and which decoder(s) (if any) are used
    # based on the option's list entries and their ordering.
    # Examples: aac(aac,ffmpeg) first try FAAD2 for AACs then FFmpeg
    # mp3() ignore MP3 files
    # wav(*,sndfile) use sndfile for WAV as a last resort
    # ogg(vorbis,*):flac(flac,*) try Xiph decoders first
    # ogg():audio/ogg() ignore OGG files, and
    # force Internet selection by content
    # gz():html() ignore some non-audio files
    # Any unspecified audio formats default to trying all decoders.
    # Any unknown (or misspelt) drivers are ignored.
    # All names are case insensitive.
    # The default setting reflects the historical situation modified by
    # the experience of users.
    #PreferredDecoders = aac(aac,ffmpeg):m4a(ffmpeg)
    #PreferredDecoders += mpc(musepack,*,ffmpeg):mpc8(musepack,*,ffmpeg)
    #PreferredDecoders += sid(sidplay2):mus(sidplay2)
    #PreferredDecoders += wav(sndfile,*,ffmpeg)
    #PreferredDecoders += wv(wavpack,*,ffmpeg)
    #PreferredDecoders += audio/aac(aac):audio/aacp(aac):audio/m4a(ffmpeg)
    #PreferredDecoders += audio/wav(sndfile,*)
    # The following PreferredDecoders attempt to handle the ambiguity surrounding

    # Which resampling method to use. There are a few methods of resampling
    # sound supported by libresamplerate. The default is 'Linear') which is
    # also the fastest. A better description can be found at:
    # http://www.mega-nerd.com/libsamplerate/api_misc.html#Converters
    # but briefly, the following methods are based on bandlimited interpolation
    # and are higher quality, but also slower:
    # SincBestQuality - really slow (I know you probably have an xx GHz
    # processor, but it's still not enough to not see
    # this in the top output :) The worst case
    # Signal-to-Noise Ratio is 97dB.
    # SincMediumQuality - much faster.
    # SincFastest - the fastest bandlimited interpolation.
    # And these are lower quality, but much faster methods:
    # ZeroOrderHold - really poor quality, but it's really fast.
    # Linear - a bit better and a bit slower.
    #ResampleMethod = Linear
    # Always use this sample rate (in Hz) when opening the audio device (and
    # resample the sound if necessary). When set to 0 the device is opened
    # with the file's rate.
    #ForceSampleRate = 0
    # By default, even if the sound card reports that it can output 24bit samples
    # MOC converts 24bit PCM to 16bit. Setting this option to 'yes' allows MOC
    # to use 24bit output. (The MP3 decoder, for example, uses this format.)
    # This is disabled by default because there were reports that it prevents
    # MP3 files from playing on some soundcards.
    #Allow24bitOutput = no
    # Use realtime priority for output buffer thread. This will prevent gaps
    # while playing even with heavy load. The user who runs MOC must have
    # permissions to set such a priority. This could be dangerous, because it
    # is possible that a bug in MOC will freeze your computer.
    #UseRealtimePriority = no
    # The number of audio files for which MOC will cache tags. When this limit
    # is reached, file tags are discarded on a least recently used basis (with
    # one second resolution). You can disable the cache by giving it a size of
    # zero. Note that if you decrease the cache size below the number of items
    # currently in the cache, the number will not decrease immediately (if at
    # all).

    # Main window layouts can be configured. You can change the position and
    # size of the menus (directory and playlist). You have three layouts and
    # can switch between then using the 'l' key (standard mapping). By default,
    # only two layouts are configured.
    # The format is as follows:
    # - Each layout is described as a list of menu entries.
    # - Each menu entry is of the form:
    # menu(position_x, position_y, width, height)
    # where 'menu' is either 'directory' or 'playlist'.
    # - The parameters define position and size of the menu. They can
    # be absolute numbers (like 10) or a percentage of the screen size
    # (like 45%).
    # - 'width' and 'height' can have also value of 'FILL' which means
    # fill the screen from the menu's position to the border.
    # - Menus may overlap.
    # You must describe at least one menu (default is to fill the whole window).
    # There must be at least one layout (Layout1) defined; others can be empty.
    # Example: Layout1 = playlist(50%,50%,50%,50%)
    # Layout2 = ""
    # Layout3 = ""
    # Just one layout, the directory will occupy the whole
    # screen, the playlist will have 1/4 of the screen size
    # and be positioned at lower right corner. (Note that
    # because the playlist will be hidden by the directory
    # you will have to use the TAB key to make the playlist
    # visible.)
    # Example: Layout1 = playlist(0,0,100%,10):directory(0,10,100%,FILL)
    # The screen is split into two parts: playlist at the top
    # and the directory menu at the bottom. Playlist will
    # occupy 10 lines and the directory menu the rest.
    #Layout1 = directory(0,0,50%,100%):playlist(50%,0,FILL,100%)
    #Layout2 = directory(0,0,100%,100%):playlist(0,0,100%,100%)

    3d3d3d is for red but you have a blackish and color2 is for green but you have it white the rest should be the default colors. it uses the same colors only it changes the vairiant of the color you choice there or normally moc uses colors such as green blue and such which will call your console colors for those respective fields I know moc has /user/share/moc/themes/ that you can edit or make your own for instance copy one and edit it. I think htop uses the same color count which is 8 but with so green will be white when you use urxvt. 8 for normal colors 16 for bright dark and urxvt is 256 which is 16 but can use any of the 256 colors for 16.
    just to clarify you have commented out your colors 4-15 and your green and red is weird, and htop aswell as moc is 8 bit. moc theme_yellow_red is default for background so it will use urxvts background
    Haahaha, that is simple. And it works!!!
    I didn't bother with commenting that because i thought they are not applied. Anyway, thanks man. My urxvt terminal si grateful to you and your thorough explanation. SOLVED!

  • Can You Make Text Links Different Colours in DW Cs5?

    Hi everyone, in DW Cs5 how do you make text links on the same page different colours, I have some text links across the top of the page, these go with a certain colour scheme but some more on the page it's self these need to be a different colour.
    I have done this before by accident but unfortunately I have no longer got that file. Information for text in either html or css would be very helpful.
    Many thanks
    Gareth

    Change this:
    <style type="text/css">
    .def13grey4 {
         font-size: 14px;
         font-weight: bold;
         color: #333;
    .def14grey4 a {
         color: #333;
    </style>
    to this:
    <style type="text/css">
    .def14grey4 a:link{font-weight: bold; color: #333;}
    .def14grey4 a:visited{color: #999;}
    .def14grey4 a:hover,
    .def14grey4 a:active,
    .def14grey4 a:focus{color:#4488C3;} /**adjust colors to suit**/
    </style>
    Change this in the HTML:
    <td height="354" colspan="3" valign="top" bgcolor="#CCCCCC" class="def13grey4">
    <p>Black Shirts #002</p>
    </td>
    To this:
    <td height="354" colspan="3" valign="top" bgcolor="#CCCCCC">
    <p><a class="def14grey4 href="some-link.html">Black Shirts #002</a></p>

  • How do i change the color of text boxes and the texts that i enter in them?

    I recently changed my system's color settings and now the text boxes in Firefox are dark grey. This is fine when the text happens to show up as white, but when it shows up as black, I can't read what I'm typing. (I'm not clear on what makes the difference. The box I'm typing this in now happens to be dark grey with white text.) I've tried playing around with settings within Firefox preferences and in my OS' (Kubuntu) system settings, and haven't yet been able to identify what settings exactly might change this specific aspect.

    Two possible ways are available
    Set the text with and html text string like "<html><font color-red>" + text + "</font></html>"
    or get the cellrenderer, cast to the DefaultCellRenderer and call setForeground or background or implement or your own cellrenderer to do the custom coloring (this could maybe depend on indexes)

  • How to change the color of text highlight

    I'm trying to select and highlight certain text in the PDF. Here's my sample code. I want to change the color of the highlighted text. Something similar to what the Highlight Text tool does in acrobat.
    HiliteEntry hilite;
    hilite.offset = 10;  //Highlight the tenth word
    AVDoc currentAVDoc = AVAppGetActiveDoc();
    PDDoc currentPDDoc = AVDocGetPDDoc(currentAVDoc);
    AVPageView currentPageView = AVDocGetPageView(currentAVDoc);
    ASInt32 pageNum = AVPageViewGetPageNum(currentPageView);
    PDColorValueRec red;
    red.space = PDDeviceRGB;
    red.value[0] = ASInt32ToFixed(1);
    red.value[1] = 0;
    red.value[2] = 0;

  • Change background color during text edit mode

    THis is a wacky problem...
    I have a presentation template. The slide master has white copy in the title and black copy in the body/bulleted list.
    When I try to use the template and edit the title copy, the background color for editing that line is white, just like the text, so I can't see what I'm typing. I can't figure out how to change the background color during text edit mode so that I can actually see what I'm typing. Is there a way to make this transparent?
    For some reason, the body copy edit works fine: black text edited in either a white or transparent background color.

  • After Effects & Premiere Pro CS4 users: Turn off "Make text and other items larger or smaller" (Win)

    I just made a brief blog post recommending that After Effects CS4 and Premiere Pro CS4 users turn off the "Make text and other items larger or smaller" setting in Windows 7, since it causes some problems.
    Please use this thread to let us know whether this solved a problem for you or whether there are any problems with this solution.

    There isn't really an option to "turn off" the feature. Do you mean to say that it should be set to "Smaller - 100% (default)"?

  • [SOLVED] How to make settings in LXTerminal permanent?

    This is what I'm trying to do with the LXTerminal: Change the text color, make the window 100% transparent (including frames) and make the window pop up in my upper left corner at startup.
    This is what I can do, and what I need help with:
    - I can make the LXTerminal launch at startup editing /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart, but not where I want it (only default).
    - I can change the text color, and make the window transparent (including frames with the help of obconf), but after reboot the transparency is gone, and I get this black header on my window that I have to remove by a right click option. All settings is set manually in the LXTerminal GUI, not by command line.
    I've been searching the internet for solutions, but non of them seems to work for me. Everything I came across referred to Openbox files that doesn't exist in my setup. I'm fairly new to Arch, so please bare with my ignorance. Relevant software I run: Xorg, LXDM and LXDE.

    Openbox is part of the LXDE group - so if you installed the whole group (as is the default action) you should have it already
    :: There are 20 members in group lxde:
    :: Repository community
    1) gpicview 2) libfm 3) lxappearance 4) lxappearance-obconf
    5) lxde-common 6) lxde-icon-theme 7) lxdm 8) lxinput 9) lxlauncher
    10) lxmenu-data 11) lxmusic 12) lxpanel 13) lxrandr 14) lxsession
    15) lxshortcut 16) lxtask 17) lxterminal 18) menu-cache 19) openbox
    20) pcmanfm
    Enter a selection (default=all):
    ... and is the default LXDE windows manager - although you can use any other if you so like
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LXDE
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Openbox
    You may be able to do what you want with a keybinding in:
    ~/.config/openbox/lxde-rc.xml
    or a custom .desktop file in ~/.config/autostart

  • When I open a new document in Pages, the text I type is white on a white background even though the default color is black.  Can someone help?

    When I open a new document in Pages, the text I type appears white instead of the default black color.  I can highlight the text, once I find it, but it will not change to anything other than a light purple.

    Those are the symptoms many users ran into with an early update to Snow Leopard that never was fixed in the updates available through Software Update & not having the iWork apps updated. The problem was not whether or not your system is the current version but how it got there. You must use the combo updater, not the one from Software Update unless it specifically states it is the combo. Software Update will only offer the combo if your system is two or more versions behind. Now that you're running Lion, this generally isn't a problem.
    But making sure the iWork apps are updated is essential. If you're not running the latest versions of the iWork apps installed from a retail box or the downloaded trial & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. If you installed from the downloaded trial or the retail box, they must be in the iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.

  • Transfer footage iMovie 08 to iMovie 06 HD & change outline color for text

    I have a completed video that is basically all stills. I would like to transfer the stills in their current sequence and if possible with their current crop styles ie Ken Burns without having to start ALL over. Is this possible? Just downloaded 06 HD because I wanted more editing options that iMovie 08 seems to be lacking.
    Also, how do you change the outline color for text in titles? At one point it switched from black to white but I have no idea how it happened... now its back to black.
    Lastly, are we only allowed to place music exactly at the head of a clip or is there a setting I am unable to find that unlocks that "snap to" function?
    Thank you.

    Thanks....I was thinking that was probably it. Will be a little time consuming, but I'll feel better in the end knowing a vacation and bunch of summer stuff is back on tape for archiving.

  • I am unable to change the color of text in an email I replay to or compose. I am on 31.6.0 release of Thunderbird.

    When I receive, reply or compose email. I no longer am able to see or change the color of text. I select to change the text from black to Red (or any other color) and the text just stays black, The color seletor box will show the last select color, but never actually changes the text color in an email. Also in received email, when the sender has indicated their replies to me are in another color, All the text only appears as black. I never had this problem in the past, not sure what has happened. I did restart Thunderbird with add-ons disabled and this did not change the problem.
