Changing Configure lion terminal color

Just changed my terminal colors based on the theme installed from
http://blog.toddwerth.com/entries/13

After running the terminal script go to terminal settings to make it the default theme. I changed the font size to 10 and the background to dark grey.

The colors didn’t show at first, had to include this line in .profile “export CLICOLOR=1”; Its mentioned in the comments below the page.

The colors doesn’t show when you ssh.
Heres the fix: http://www.henrycipolla.com/blog/2011/07/fixing-colors-in-the-terminal-app-on-os-x-lion/

  • Terminal Preferences
  • Settings->Advanced
  • Change Declare terminal as xterm-color256 to xterm-color
