\subsection set_color-synopsis Synopsis

<tt>set_color [-h --help] [-b --background COLOR] [COLOR]</tt>

\subsection set_color-description Description
|
|
|
|
\c set_color changes the foreground and/or background color of the terminal.
|
|
\c COLOR is one of black, red, green, brown, yellow, blue, magenta,
|
|
purple, cyan, white and normal.
|
|
|
|
If your terminal supports term256 (modern xterms and OS X Lion),
|
|
you can specify an RGB value with three or six hex digits, such
|
|
as A0FF33 or f2f. \c fish will choose the closest supported color.
|
|
|
|
The following options are available:
|
|
|
|
- \c -b, \c --background \c COLOR sets the background color.
|
|
- \c -c, \c --print-colors prints a list of all valid color names.
|
|
- \c -h, \c --help displays a help message and exit.
|
|
- \c -o, \c --bold sets bold or extra bright mode.
|
|
- \c -u, \c --underline sets underlined mode.
|
|
|
|
Calling <tt>set_color normal</tt> will set the terminal color to
|
|
the default color of the terminal.
|
|
|
|
Some terminals use the --bold escape sequence to switch to a brighter
|
|
color set. On such terminals, <code>set_color white</code> will result
|
|
in a grey font color, while <code>set_color --bold white</code> will
|
|
result in a white font color.
|
|
|
|
Not all terminal emulators support all these features.
|
|
|
|
\c set_color uses the terminfo database to look up how to change terminal
|
|
colors on whatever terminal is in use. Some systems have old and
|
|
incomplete terminfo databases, and may lack color information for
|
|
terminals that support it.
