There's no such feature in bash (and any other shell) as far as I know. I'm using standard colorscheme with one exception - I redefined directories to be "black on white", because default dark blue color is almost invisible on a black background. You can get my ~/.dir_colors here[1], and it can be applied as follows: eval `dircolors ~/.dir_colors` Put this line somewhere in ~/.bashrc and enjoy! 1. http://dumpz.org/14522/text/ -- Regards, Alexander Batischev 1024D/69093C81 F870 A381 B5F5 D2A1 1B35 4D63 A1A7 1C77 6909 3C81
