Are we speaking about text console, or X? For the former: # echo "deb http://angband.pl/debian sid main" >>/etc/apt/sources.list # apt-get install vtgamma Run "vtgamma -e" to get a template (you can't get either orange nor green by any combination of R/G/B gamma) then adjust the colours to your taste, then output the given string, putting it into /etc/issue or bash's prompt if you want that permanent. For the latter: # apt-get install compiz $ compiz --replace Enable the color filters and play with them, there's no orange/green monitor emulation in the presets but you can make one. Too bad, the user interface for compiz config is badly acting up in unstable right now, but the functionality itself works fine. > Nowadays, if I type my login name all uppercase, I don't even get an > uppercase "PASSWORD:" prompt anymore :( stty olcuc (Quick hint: "stty -olcuc" restores sanity.) -- ᛊᚨᚾᛁᛏᚣ᛫ᛁᛊ᛫ᚠᛟᚱ᛫ᚦᛖ᛫ᚹᛖᚨᚲ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
