As far as I see, most e* tools respond on an appended |cat or have at least a non-color option. Ok, still there are cursor positioning sequences. I tried to switch them off; I managed to do this only by modifing /sbin/functions.sh. Further, when I give the --nocolor option to an init script only the second line of those below will lose its colour, the first one still appears in green and blue. * Caching service dependencies ... * [ ok ] * Setting clock via the NTP client 'ntpdate' ... * [ ok ] Some time ago I happened to write an equery redesign in Ruby, just for fun. It's far from perfect but it definitely won't output any colors if you don't want them. Of course, init scripts are more difficult to handle because they are written in Bash.

I don't know if this was mentioned before and if it will fit your needs, but you can change the default colors of portage-output with /etc/portage/color.map.

Maybe it should do something similar to emacs and automatically use a different colour scheme depending on whether the terminal is 'dark on light' or 'light on dark'. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
