As of Mac OS X Lion 10.7, Terminal allows customizing the ANSI colors, so using SIMBL or other extensions is no longer necessary. It also supports 256 colors. – Chris Page Sep 4 '11 at 8:59. Operating System: Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite I am a macbook pro owner. My new printer prints colour when using test pages. I saw your post about how your Mac running 10.10 is unable to print in color to your Envy 4522, and I wanted to reply with my own suggestions. As the test pages print out in color, we know the printer itself is okay!:). You can enable colorized output by passing the -G option to ls command on Apple Mac OS X or FreeBSD operating system. You don’t have to install anything special. Just pass the -G option to the ls command to enable colorized output on Unix box. Mac OS X color ls output option. To find the color value (in RGB) of any pixel on your screen using the macOS Digital Color Meter (Mac eyedropper tool): Open Digital Color Meter. Tip: You can find Digital Color Meter using Spotlight search as well as using Launchpad, of course, or open the Utilities folder in Finder. Turn down the Aperture Size to its very smallest (on the left).

The Macintosh Color Classic (sold as the Macintosh Colour Classic in PAL regions and Macintosh Color Deluxe in Japan) is a personal computer designed, manufactured and sold by Apple Computer, Inc. from February 1993 to May 1995 (up to January 1998 in PAL markets). It has a 'all-in-one PC' design, with a small, integrated 10″ SonyTrinitron display (supporting up to thousands of colors with a video memory upgrade) at 512 × 384 pixel resolution.

The Color Classic is the final model of the original 'compact' family of Macintosh computers, and was replaced by the larger-display Macintosh LC 500 series and Power Macintosh 5200 LC.

Hardware[edit]

The Color Classic has a Motorola 68030 CPU running at 16 MHz and has a logic board similar to the Macintosh LC II.[2]

Like the Macintosh SE and SE/30 before it, the Color Classic has a single expansion slot: an LC-type Processor Direct Slot (PDS), incompatible with the SE slots. This was primarily intended for the Apple IIe Card (the primary reason for the Color Classic's switchable 560 × 384 display, essentially quadruple the IIe's 280 × 192 High-Resolution graphics), which was offered with education models of the LCs. The card allowed the LCs to emulate an Apple IIe. The combination of the low-cost color Macintosh and Apple IIe compatibility was intended to encourage the education market's transition from Apple II models to Macintoshes. Other cards, such as CPU accelerators, Ethernet and video cards were also made available for the Color Classic's Processor Direct Slot.

The Color Classic shipped with the Apple Keyboard known as an Apple Keyboard II (M0487) which featured a soft power switch on the keyboard itself. The mouse supplied was the Apple Mouse known as the Apple Desktop Bus Mouse II (M2706).

A slightly updated model, the Color Classic II, featuring the Macintosh LC 550logicboard with a 33 MHz processor, was released in Japan, Canada and some international markets in 1993, sometimes as the Performa 275. Both versions of the Color Classic have 256 KB of onboard VRAM, expandable to 512 KB by plugging a 256 KB VRAM SIMM into the onboard 68-pin VRAM slot.[3]

The name 'Color Classic' was not printed directly on the front panel, but on a separate plastic insert. This enabled the alternative spelling 'Colour Classic' and 'Colour Classic II' to be used in appropriate markets.

Upgrades[edit]

Some Color Classic users upgraded their machines with motherboards from Performa/LC 575 units ('Mystic' upgrade),[4] while others have put entire Performa/LC/Quadra 630 or successor innards into them ('Takky' upgrade).[5] Based on Takky there is a way to upgrade the Color Classic with a G3 CPU.[6] Another common modification to this unit was to change the display to allow 640 × 480 resolution,[7] which was a common requirement for many programs (especially games) to run.

MacOS is awesome for command line stuff, that’s why real Java programmers love it. But some of the defaults Apple have used make me sad. Where are all the colors? I demand my ls command be pretty and colorful!

Why is Vim so bland?

I have seen several options on the web on how to adjust colors but some, albeit very good ones, make me uncomfortable with the type of installations that have to be performed in order to enable these themes.

So, after some digging and reading man pages on terminal coloring and ls I found a super-simple solution for decent terminal coloring.

If you have below questions then you are at right place:

  • Simple Tricks to Improve the Terminal Appearance

export GREP_OPTIONS='--color=auto'

Step-3.

Command: $ source ~/.bash_profile to initialize profile in current window.

You should see color now:

  • CLICOLOR=1 simply enables coloring of your terminal.
  • LSCOLORS=… specifies how to color specific items.

Step-4.

Add some more coloring. Keep previously added lines and add these extra lines. This gives you a nice colored prompt.
