Customize My Terminal

September 28th, 2006 by steveblue
I got real annoyed by the look of Terminal today. I found this article on Macworld that shows me how to customize the look of Terminal, even to the point of specializing certain styles for specific Unix commands.

When I open the Terminal and invoke top -u, it now appears like this:

Customized Terminal

I think it is always good to set the highlight color to the opposite color on the color wheel as the txt color. So, in this case magenta is the highlight and opposite of green on the color wheel. This makes highlighted text really pop.

Go to Macworld’s article to learn more:
