Console color

[mikeshn]

I use Red Hat 7.1. When I run the terminal the background is white and letters is black. Can I change colors? If so how?


Thanks in advance

Is that an xterm or what? Just start a new one up with

xterm -bg background_color -fg foreground_color

If it's another terminal like gnome-terminal or konsole, there should be menus where you can change that.

If you are referring to a native terminal (not in X) then use something like this:

/bin/setterm -background blue -foreground white -store
