Hi,
Hi,
I'm new here. My question is how do I get rid of colors in "emerge", "man" and other command line programs. I managed to do in the shell (bash), but I'm somehow lost how to change it elsewhere. In "vi" I know of "syn off".
Try changing your terminal type (TERM environment variable) to something that doesn't support color. I'd suggest VT100.
Try the following in a terminal session and see if that helps. export TERM=vt100
See attached a pic of an xterm window, which I cannot read easily. (I'm color-blind, so this might enhance the problem.)
You can also redefine the colors in XTerm so that anything that thinks it's using a given color number is actually using whatever RGB value you set. Thus you can alter the colors to whatever you want.
