[coLinux-users] How to make the colinux NT console black on white

[<en...@in...>]

I like to use coLinux with colinux-console-nt.exe. How can I change
the color of it to black on white? I can change the color of cmd.exe
like this - http://i33.tinypic.com/33nhklt.png But I don't know how to
do it with coLinux

Run this in you Linux prompt:

     echo -ne "\022[30;40m"
     clear

To have this for all your logins, put this line into your file "~/.profile"
More color code you will see under "ECMA-48 Set Graphics Rendition" in 
"man console_codes"
http://linux.die.net/man/4/console_codes

Remember, you can go back to defaults by running this in your Prompt:

     reset

Sorry, not black on black, and wrong ESC code!
That does it better:

	echo -ne "\033[30;47m"

For more you need to change the "terminfo". That would be hardly.

Bashish is perhaps an other interesting for you?

I don't have tested. Not all will work on the colinux console (no 
graphics, and no palette manipulation).
