Once you have lxterminal installed, it should just be a matter of right-clicking and going to Preferences... but I don't see anything about transparency there. Huh.

It looks like terminator has transparency. Install terminator and right-click, then go Preferences > Profiles > Background.

Now the colors for the name and prompt are done through the bash preferences, defined in the .bashrc file in your home directory. I will refer you to bash.org for info on setting the PS1 shell variable.

/e:

alias ls='ls --color=auto'
[ ! "$UID" = "0" ] && archbey -c cyan
[  "$UID" = "0" ] && archbey -c red
PS1="\[\e[01;31m\][\[\e[01;35m\u\e[01;31m\]@\[\e[00;37m\]${HOSTNAME%%.*}\[\e[01;32m\]]:\w$\[\e[01;31m\]\n\[\e[01;31m\]\[\e[01;36m\]>>\[\e[0m\]"

By default, the user prompt (the >>) and AB logo show up in cyan in a b/w terminal window.

Here's mine:

PS1='\u@\h:\w $\n\[\e[01;36m\]>>\[\e[0m\]'

The

\e[01;36m\]

sets the color and the

\e[0m\]

unsets it. All of that stuff with the semicolons sets the colors.

bigbenaugust · 2011-09-30 15:16:38

... but once you've changed your PSI variable you should exit the terminal and start a new one or at least run

. ~/.bashrc

to make it stick.

okok, i know now, but how i can make it by normal user too, by me is it only by root :S

/e: how can i change the AB Logo to archlinux logo like picture?

Put that line of text in the .bashrc file in your home directory using your favorite editor (nano or vi or gedit). Then restart your shell.

The arch logo appears to be provided by /usr/bin/archbey in AB, which refers to /usr/bin/archey in Arch.

Install the archey3 package from the AUR.

>>packer -Ss archey
aur/archey 20101103-1
    Simple python script that displays the arch logo and some basic
    information.
aur/archey3 20110904-1
    Python script to display system infomation alongside the Arch Linux logo
aur/alsi 0.3.2-1
    Arch Linux System Information tool. [Inspired by Archey]

where i find now the script? when i edit by ~/.bashrc

archbey to archey there stand archey dont exist or so^^

That's a good question, I don't have an Arch box here, only AB. But my box says:

>>whereis archbey
archbey: /usr/bin/archbey
baugust@vpue-baugust-lt:~ $
>>

and if I run archbey --help, I get:

baugust@vpue-baugust-lt:~ $
>>archbey --help
Usage: archbey [-c COLOR] [-s, --screenshot]

To customize the info displayed on archey, edit "/usr/bin/archey" directly and
look for the display array. Note: Archey can only allow up to 15 fields.

Options:
  --version         show program's version number and exit
  -h, --help        show this help message and exit
  -c COLOR          choose a color: black, red, green, yellow, blue, magenta,
                    cyan, white [Default: blue]
  -s, --screenshot  take a screenshot
baugust@vpue-baugust-lt:~ $
>>

Now if I install archey

>>sudo packer -S archey
Password: 
... blah blah blah ...

When all of that's done, it is located in:

>>whereis archey
archey: /usr/bin/archey
baugust@vpue-baugust-lt:~ $
>>

Try hitting n instead to the "Do you want to edit?" prompt, go with the defaults.

Odd that it can't reach the server with the source. How's your network, can you ping that server (207.97.227.239)?

Weird. Not sure how to get around that one, other than to tell you to try again and keep trying if there's some sort of connectivity issue.

I realize this is an old post. But do you mind telling me what panel you are using and how you got it to look like that also what openbox theme are you using?
