In my Xshell, every thing is like this:
But when I get into gnu-screen, my color fade to grey...
I googled, and find By default, screen uses an 8-color terminal emulator. in this archlinux wiki page.
I have tried all of the solution given by that wiki page and didn't work...
So could any one save me from that gray world?
Of course, for some reason, I have to use screen...
Xshell has it's own color schemes.
You can find them under Tools > Color Schemes
That's why it's different.
Do you have any .bashrc and LS_COLORS setup in your system?
Try installing LS_COLORS under your home directory and maybe try again?
I encountered the same problem, and solved it by adding term xterm to ~/.screenrc

Question
Is it at all possible to change the color of the text highlight in Eclipse console to something more visible in Manjaro Linux? Your time and help are both much appreciated.
Important notes
I am using the default GTK theme. I do not want to use a different theme.
For testing, I have tried using a different theme, but that didn't help.
Problem
Currently, I am stuck with a barely visible light grey text selection in Eclipse console in the following two scenarios:
When manually selecting text
When using the Find\Replace... search function
Supporting screenshots
Manual mouse text selection:
Find/Replace... selection:
Looking into and changing these settings did not help:
I once ran into the same problem and used the gnome-color-chooser to resolve this issue.
You have to change property selected_bg_color value in your current GTK theme gtkrc file. I am using Ambiance theme.
So my setting are:
cat /usr/share/themes/Ambiance/gtk-2.0/gtkrc | more
gtk-color-scheme = "base_color:#ffffff\nfg_color:#4c4c4c\ntooltip_fg_color:#000000\nselected_bg_color:#f07746\nselected_fg_color:#FFFFFF\ntext_color:#3C3C3C\nbg_color:#F2F1F
0\ntooltip_bg_color:#f5f5c5\nlink_color:#DD4814"

I just upgraded my Ubuntu laptop from 12.04 to 12.10.
In 12.04, running emacs -nw opened emacs in terminal mode using the terminal color scheme (background, foreground, ..., especially it keeped my transparent terminal background).
Now in 12.10, running the same command results in emacs opened in the terminal with an other color scheme (with a gray background). How can I tell emacs to keep my terminal color scheme ?
Thanks to https://stackoverflow.com/users/774691/john-k-doe's comment, I finally get the reason why my emacs -nw appeared like that.
I edited the font size (for the default face) in an emacs window (launched without the -nw option) and then saved this new setting using the menu entry Options -> Save Options. This action modified my ~/.xemacs/custom.el file loaded by default in my ~/.emacs file. The modification included background and foreground properties for the default face with the value used in "Window" mode.
To solve the issue, I just removed this custom entry from the custom.el file.
I'm not sure that there is a sensible answer to this. After all, a gnome terminal colour theme lists three "colours": (1) Text, (2) Background (3) Bold.
The way Emacs works is that every bit of text is given a "face". A colour theme is a mapping of faces to colours. There are more than three faces...
I recently started using Lisp and Limp is the only available plugin for VIM. But, once I set it up and hit F12, the terminal like window that appears has a very small font size. I have a screen resolution of 1920x1080 and it's impractical to read such small fonts. I went through the man page of 'screen', but couldn't find any useful information on changing the font or font size. Is there a way to do this?
And how about using something like 'xterm' rather than 'screen'? I looked through the code of bridge.vim. I don't think it is too much of a task. Any ideas on this?
By screen, do you mean GNU screen?
GNU screen is a terminal emulator that runs in another terminal or emulator. It has no direct control over font sizes; it's purely text based. The window you're seeing must be some GUI terminal emulator; you haven't told us enough to guess which one (could be xterm, could be Gnome terminal, etc.).
For xterm, control-right-click should bring up the "VT Fonts" menu, which will let you select a different font. If none of the available fonts are to your liking, you can use X resources to reconfigure the options, including the choice for the default font.
xterm also supports a control sequence that sets the current font. You have to know the name of the font you want. xlsfonts will show you a very long list of font names (it just showed me 5594 of them). For example, if you run this from a shell running in xterm:
printf '\e]50;-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--15-140-75-75-c-90-iso10646-1\a'
it should give you the font I usually use. But screen generally intercepts escape sequences like that, so it probably won't work from screen under xterm.
Other terminal emulators should have similar mechanisms.
if i use a dark theme then links in Eclipse-"quick fix" or in i.e. Eclipse->Preferences->General->Editor (the three 'see... "File Associaton"|"Content Types"|"Appearance"'-links) are unreadable.
On this image the links i am talking about are cyan on grey:
I found a solution for Windows/XP:
The hover uses the same colors as the on your system. On Windows you
can change that via Display settings > Appearance > Advanced: ToolTip.
The link color is the one used in your browser (IE on Windows).
However, i need a solution for Linux (XFCE 4.8.1/GTK)
I checked/tested all settings of Eclipse and i found no setting for this link-color. It seems to be a system-setting (GTK), so i already tried to add this to gtkrc:
style "default" {
GtkWidget::link-color = "#ffffff"
}
class "GtkWidget" style "default"
but this did not change the link color in Eclipse.
I hope you can help - thanks!

Use the colors menu (the first entry in the picture):
And redefine the tooltip background color:
Then enjoy the readable popups:
Install gnome-color-chooser and customize the tooltip color as described here:
http://www.devsniper.com/black-tooltip-in-eclipse-on-ubuntu-12-04/
I'll chime in here, since I have the same issue.
There is no fix for this, when running Eclipse on Unix (KDE, Gnome, etc).
The color for links, which is used in the QuickFix list as well as various other places in the UI (such as Preferences panels), is hardcoded.
On Windows, you are luckier, since Eclipse uses the native link widget, which takes its colors from system settings.
On non-Windows, you are stuck with a dark-blue hardcoded color.
What it should do, at least on GTK, is use the GtkWidget::link-color setting. But it doesn't, currently.
If you want to see it fixed, either upvode this bug or fix the code yourself:

I've been trying to get colourschemes to work properly in VIM when using it over ssh with PuTTy as a client but unfortunately I haven't had much success. I can only get 8bit colours working with PuTTY even though I've enabled 256 colors in putty and set t_Co=256 in VIM. They don't turn out as they should. I've been trying to replicate this setup http://www.interworksinc.com/blogs/ckaukis/2009/06/03/vim-color-schemes-putty but as I say it's been in vain so far.
Has anyone here had success with colourschemes working with VIM in PuTTy? I'd appreciate any advice
Thanks,
Patrick
[EDIT] Turns out I've found the source of the problem. I was using vim in a screen which was breaking the colours. Updated question I guess is, is it possible to have working colors in a screen session? [/EDIT]
As well as compiled support, it may be necessary to add some config to screenrc (I needed to).
http://www.frexx.de/xterm-256-notes/ has a good guide. The relevant part to screen:
By default, screen is not aware that it is running in a 256 color capable xterm. To make programs in screen recognize this feature, you need to set three things in your ~/.screenrc:
# terminfo and termcap for nice 256 color terminal
# allow bold colors - necessary for some reason
attrcolor b ".I"
# tell screen how to set colors. AB = background, AF=foreground
termcapinfo xterm 'Co#256:AB=\E[48;5;%dm:AF=\E[38;5;%dm'
# erase background with current bg color
defbce "on"
Yes, you can do 256 colours with screen, however, this option usually isn't compiled in. Simply compile screen yourself with:
--enable-colors256
Alternatively, you could get a tabbed PuTTy. It has the advantage of ctrl-a going to the beginning of the line, and saves you from many termcap headaches. However, if you like to reconnect to your screen sessions from multiple terminals, there really isn't anything better than screen for the job.
NB. This question probably belongs on Superuser.
I had same problem on Mac Os, tried some solutions but all tests show that 256 colors not displayed. After that I'm installed screen from brew and all works great. Maybe it's because Mac Os default screen from /usr/bin/ compiled without --enable-colors256 flag.
Solution for mac os: brew install screen
I had trouble with black background in Putty: blue characters on a black background with default colours are hard to read:
My solution for a better contrast was to enable "system colors" checkbox unter
"Settings / Window / Colours / Use system colors"
This displays the Putty screen with black characters on a white background. Not hip but readable :-)
