Terminal.app ANSI Colors

October 5th, 2008

Since Leopard, I did not have a good application able to change ANSI colours in Terminal.app.

Even though it does not seem a particularly pressing issue, the defaults are quite bad: the standard blue is quite too dark to be used on a dark background, so you have to use a light one. Unfortunately enough, some applications assume a dark background (for example, ipython). Of course, these applications can be personalized, but using a dark background can also be just a matter of taste.

Luckily enough, today I found TerminalColoreopard. It works well, it is easy to use, and solved my problem.
