I'd like to share a wscons related script. You can use this to
quickly set foreground and background color. This can be essential,
if you're using VGA, and may have cabling-issues, but with 80x25,80x40,
white on black... subtle, but --trust me--
the eyestrain risk, is still cumulative (IMO :(
#!/var/bin/mksh
# ^^^--- unique to my system
# set fg and bg colors for
# bg fg hilight
colors="blue red green brown magenta cyan white black"
COLUMNS=21 ## this forces single line in select
PS3="background color? "
wsconsctl -d -w msg.default.bg="${1:-$(select C in $colors ; do
case $REPLY in [1-8]) print $C ; break ;; esac ; done)}"
PS3="foreground color? "
wsconsctl -d -w msg.default.fg="${2:-$(select C in $colors ; do
case $REPLY in [1-8]) print $C ; break ;; esac ; done)}"
#PS3=hilight
wsconsctl -d -w msg.default.attrs=color
