Change Terminal Color In Tiger

Mac heads 101 here.

Today, this is a video on how to change the text color of your terminal application in Tiger. Now I'm going to be demonstrating this to you on Leopard, but it also works in Tiger.

So first of all, you want to open Firefox. I happen to already have one perfectly sized and minimized right here. You want to go to this website. While I'm typing it in, please enjoy this cool animation, which is going to cut out me typing it in.

Okay, so now that I've typed it in, I will hit enter, and I'll put that link in the description as well. Um, if you have Firefox, this warning window will come up normally that asks you if you want to download this or not. Um, if you have Safari, it will just automatically download anyway.

So, I click okay, and now in my downloads is this little CH color thing. In Safari, um, I'll show you this in Safari as well, but right now in Firefox you can open this little zip file up. It'll come up in a finder window as this little thing called CH color or CH color 2, depending on whether you've already tried it before.

You just want to drag this onto your desktop for now. Let's drag it onto our desktop and then close this and close this.

So now let's show it to you in Safari. So, you go to the same website as before. So let me type it in this little address bar here.

Okay, so I've typed it in here. Um, so now I just hit enter, and it will automatically download right there in this window. Actually, I don't just double click it; I click this little, uh, click this little, um, little magnifying glass. So, I click that, and it'll open up in finder. I just want to take this and drag it onto my desktop.

And um, that's how to do it with Safari. So, um, now let's um, go from here. We want to open Terminal wherever you have it and type CD space desktop with a capital D and hit enter.

Take this little thing right here on our desktop and drag it in there, and then we hit enter. Then it'll ask us to enter a color number. I'm just going to enter 34 for example. Now my color is blue, so my color for everything I do is going to be blue.

Um, I can also drag this in here again and hit enter and type a different color number. 32 is green. Um, I can drag it in; let me see, 31 is red. So, um, those are three colors you can just experiment with all the different numbers to try to find different colors, but those are a few colors.

Um, I know there's some system, but I haven't figured that quite out yet. Um, when I do, I'll just, uh, make another video on that. And um, you can actually put this wherever you want.

Like, you can, let me just open finder. Oops, Finder. You can just drag it into, see, uh, I would just drag it onto your home folder or your documents. You can drag it anywhere. So, I dragged it into my home folder. Now let's see if I can find it. Yep, so you always just want to click it, drag it into your terminal, hit enter, and I'm just going to change mine back to green.

And um, here is that. That's how to change the text color. So, you've gone to Safari, um, downloaded the thing, or gone to Firefox and downloaded the thing. Um, you've, uh, opened Terminal, you dragged the file that you downloaded into Terminal, you've hit enter, typed a color number, and enjoy.

So, um, Mac heads 101, if you like what you just saw here today, subscribe to us! We have tons of cool videos, and um, thank you, goodbye!
