Greetings!

This is probably a trivial question and I'm sure it's buried in the documentation, but I haven't been able to find anything yet so I thought I'd post to the list.

At home, I'm running ion1 on my personal machine and I run ion2 at the office. I'd like to run ion3 at the office, but I went back to ion2 because I haven't figured out how to change the color of xterms that one can open in ion.

I've found that in ion2 I can edit 'ion-runinxterm', 'ion-menus.lua', and 'ion-bindings.lua' and add the various color switches that I like (the black on white is a little too high contrast for me). Where can I do this in ion1 and ion3? I think I've probably just overlooked something.

Thank you for your time!

hi,

templates of the relevant files are in the installation tree under ./etc/ion3. do customize either edit these or cp everything to "~/.ion3"
(note the `.').

then look at '~/.ion3/cfg_bindings.lua'.

That fixed the xterms, but ssh remains black on white. If I recall correctly, ssh in ion2 was using the 'ion-runinxterm' file, which doesn't seem to exist in ion3. The lines I changed were in cfg_ioncore.lua:

--8<--

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/X11R6/etc/ion3 999:0# grep xterm *
cfg_ioncore.lua: kpress(ALTMETA.."F2", "ioncore.exec_on(_, 'xterm -fg white -bg black')"), cfg_ioncore.lua: menuentry("XTerm", "ioncore.exec_on(_, 'xterm -fg white -bg black')"),

------

I don't seem to have a cfg_bindings.lua file anywhere on my system. I suppose I can always fire up an xterm and just type 'ssh host.tld', but that's what F4 is for, right? ;)

Thanks again!
