Fedora :: How To Switch To 16 Bit Colours

Feb 7, 2011

I have been having problems recently due to the changes to the Display configuration between various Fedora versions. They used to have the "system-config-display" application which only real fault was that it was not terribly good at setting up multiple monitors. Now they have "gnome-display-properties", which is better for dual or triple head, but worse for everything else and has been given me mostly pain since the switch.

At any rate, "system-config-display" had the option of changing the display to only have 16 bit colours, which I need for certain older games or games made with old engines. This option is not available from "gnome-display-properties". Is there a nice desktop environment or distribution agnostic command that one can put into a terminal to change the display between 16-bit and 32 bit colours?

Fedora :: How To ResetTerminal Colours

Dec 10, 2009

In other Fedora machines I've had I get some default colours at the terminal for showing thinks like links/directories/broken links etc.On this machine, FC12 64bit, I don't seem to have anything set. I've seen a number of articles explaining how to customise the terminal but I'm quite happy to accept a default set.Any idea how to reset the terminal so it uses a default theme of some sort?

Fedora :: Cannot Change Icons, Colours, Font Sizes In Nautilus

Dec 1, 2009

Still ironing out the kinks in a new install of Fedora 12.For some reason I am not able to change the icons, colours or font size used in the Nautilus file browser. While I am able to change these settings in System>Preferences>Appearance, changes just don't affect the Nautilus file browser, which continues to use the default Fedora icons in blue and 9 pt. Sans as its font no matter what I do. On the GNOME desktop I am able to adjust fonts and sizes, but when I change the icons, settings do not stick after a reboot.

I have tried deleting the ~/.gconf/apps/nautilus directory, downgrading nautilus, even removing and reinstalling it entirely, but to no avail. Tools like gnome-color-chooser affect the panel and desktop, but just don't have any effect on the Nautilus file browser. Why?This looks to me like a permissions issue possibly? The situation could be affected by the fact that the settings in /home were inherited from a previous installation of another linux distro.

Mar 16, 2010

Anyone know what the 'ls' command means when it outputs the file name in red on black, with the permissions, owner, etc. all missing? The 'man' page was of no help. In the example below, from a DVD ROM, the third file was OK and I could read it. The first two could not be read, even as root.

Ubuntu :: How To Change Screen Colours

Jun 8, 2011

I would like to ask how to change the colours on the screen. I have upgraded to Ubuntu 10 (04?) I think ... well that is what it said on the download page, so I guess it must be But it is terribly dull! All black, is there any way to make it a litte less boring, please. I am not a Goth and my computer would not be black were it not for the fact that I haven't gotten around to spraying it blue. Or green. Well, that is actually part of the problem. So many to choose from.Anyway - I looked in the system and the administration but there was no manner to do this.

General :: Set Default Screen Colours In Putty / Ssh?

Dec 6, 2010

I use putty to ssh to linux box. By default I get black screen background with white foreground.
To change colours, I go to change settings -> Window/colours and then I set background colours as white and foreground colours as black. This is more easy on my eyes. But I can't seem to be able to set this colour setting as default and each time I login, I have to set colours.
Could someone please suggest a solution?

Ubuntu :: Wrong Title Colours In Unity

Apr 29, 2011

Just upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04. The upgrade took hours and in the end wasn't able to take across my existing applications. Fair enough, I don't mind too much.However, although everything works fine, i'm left with a bit of an odd colour situation on the top panel of Unity. The application title/menu bar, along with the clock on the top panel, is set to a text colour of black - which is pretty illegible on the dark background.

There doesnt seem to be any obvious settings anywhere for this - the normal Appearance settings do not affect this (set to the default "New Wave"), and i cannot find any other relevant settings in the GUI.

Ubuntu :: Colours On Desktop Popup Notifications / Solve This?

Mar 3, 2011

When you hover your cursor over in icon often you get some info about it.

Now I have the problem that this info is unreadable in all the KDE apps I use and in Skype. (see the sceenshot I attached to see what I mean)

I uses Ubuntu 10.10 with Gnome the radiance theme.
When switch to another theme and then immediately switch back to radiance the colours are good but after a reboot I get back the unreadable colours.

What can I do to solve this problem?

General :: Incorrect Colours In PNG Graphics Using Firefox And DVI Output

May 2, 2011

I have an issue where under certain circumstances images containing yellow or close hues appear bright pink instead.For this to happen ALL 3 of the following must be true:

1. The image must be a PNG with a yellow, orange or a colour close to that.
2. View the image using a gecko based program (Firefox, Thunderbird)
3. Connect the monitor (Samsung Syncmaster P2250) to the graphics card (GeForce 8400GS) using the DVI cable.

JPGs always display correctly, the VGA port on the same card is fine. I can even have Firefox and Epiphany side by side on the screen showing the same url and Epiphany is fine. I normally use Fedora, however with an Ubuntu live cd the images are still pink if all the three criteria are true.

I don't have any other monitors or graphics cards to try unfortunately. If it were hardware, then why is Epiphany ok, if it were software then why does changing the connection to VGA make a difference?

Slackware :: Vim Colours Change Slightly In Xterm When A Key Is Pressed?

May 4, 2011

I'm having a problem with vim and xterm. When I open a file and press any key, the colour scheme changes slightly. This doesn't happen if I run a 256-colour xterm (export TERM='xterm-256color') but if TERM is set to 'xterm' (the default) I see the colour change. Setting TERM='xterm-256color' in my ~/.bashrc is a "solution", but I'd rather not have to do that since it's never been necessary in the past (e.g., on 13.1) and I don't use any 256-color schemes for vim (usually just the default or possibly "delek"). It doesn't happen with rxvt or with Xfce's terminal. I've tried compiling some other versions of xterm but they either exhibit the same behaviour or don't build. I have tried running without any ~/.vimrc file just to be sure it wasn't one of my settings and I've also tried the sample file at /usr/share/vim/vimrc; the effect is the same.
