So, your colors are lighter and your font is slightly thicker. Did you tweak it or is that a MoLo thing?

I love that this site has so many useful tips for those of us that come to OS X with a Unix mindset. Keep it up!

You should install IR Black, then create profile file:
nano ~/.bash_profile
add line
export CLICOLOR=1

and restart terminal

Any possibility of porting this to iterm2?

I tried both.. The old one.. And now this method. None of them work. My window size changes, and so does font and font size. But colors stay the same. The “Use ANSI colors”-box within Terminal Preferences IS checked. Any ideas to what is causing this?

Thanks for the credit! The selection color was a bit too dark for a Mac on a PC monitor, so I changed it to a brighter shade.

IR Black is the best, it’s available for vim too. https://github.com/kevinbin/vim-irblack

FYI it’s hard to see the fine color detail with JPEG, probably should have used PNG for the demo shots instead.
