Thanks for your script.

But when I run it, it did not show the beautiful colors as your terminal. For example, in your terminal windows, characters with light blue color dedicate it is a directory and “master” shows as green color.

In my terminal windows, all the characters are white color.

How to change it? Thanks

In reply to Lepido.

Could replace

1
2
3

DISPLAYS=`defaults read net.sourceforge.iTerm Displays | sed "s/}$//"`
DISPLAYS+=$PASTEL
DISPLAYS+="}"

with something like this:

1 2	DISPLAYS=`defaults read net.sourceforge.iTerm Displays \| sed "s/}$//"` DISPLAYS="$DISPLAYS$PASTEL}"

In reply to Martin. Looks like you need to change keyboard profile in "Profile" window

Wow! Nice colors!

However, after running the script my delete button output ~ (tilde) instead of deleting.

Thanks for the pastel colours.
iTerm is really a great piece of software,
iTerm + vim + screen == the best IDE for me :)

Hello,
The original colour setting seems that
http://picasaweb.google.com/jamolin/Question#5367626503871174770
“include” uses purple “header” and “string” use red

While using your setting, it works well.

But if I use the setting “Default” on localhost, the colour becomes very strange.

However, I use “Default” on remote machine by ssh, it returns to a normal looks as Fig.1

Do you have any ideal about fixing the problem.
Thanks
