I do exactly the same thing with xtermcontrol on Linux. In
/etc/profile.d/x.sh I have:
. /etc/xterm_colorize
where /etc/extern_colorize is:
BG=#111
FG=#ccc
BG_ROOT=#200
BG_MYUSERNAME=#002
FG_REMOTE=#cf8
if [ -x /usr/local/bin/xtermcontrol ]; then
if [ -z "$XC_RESET" ]; then
if [ -n "$SSH_CLIENT" -o -n "$SSH_CONNECTION" ]; then
FG=$FG_REMOTE
fi
case "$USER" in
'root')
BG=$BG_ROOT
;;
'myusername')
BG=$BG_MYUSERNAME ;;
esac
fi
xtermcontrol --bg $BG --fg $FG
fi
This changes the background color depending on who I'm logged in as
and it also independently changes the foreground color if I'm
connected remotely over SSH.
To reset the colors back, I have the following in ~/.bash_logout:
XC_RESET=1 . /etc/xterm_colorize
