[Solved] Terminal color code help

Post#1 by Ed_P » 03 Aug 2020, 07:10

Why do the Bold and non-Bold lines that this script produces look the same??

colortest.sh

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh

#set -x;
echo "Enter a number"              $(tput setaf $1) " Test $1"     $(tput sgr0)
echo "              " $(tput bold) $(tput setaf $1) "Test $1 Bold" $(tput sgr0)
colortest.sh 2
colortest.sh 4

etc

Hello ncmp. :) How do I check the terminal's font? :unknown:

But, today, the two lines are as they should be. :o :%) Oh, maybe run on different systems. :hmmm:

In 4.0 Cinnamon I could find it, in 5.0rc1 Openbox(?) I could not. Or maybe it was 5.0rc1 Cinnamon. Nope it was Openbox.

Good to see you active ncmp. :) Where is jssouza, I haven't seen him in a while?

That's not what I see when I rightclick on sakura menu.

As for jssouza hopefully that is the case. :) Not sure what part of the globe he lives in but If he was here his wifi source could be closed due to the pandemic. :(

um.. rightclick on sakura(terminal area) and a menu appears: then navigate: options>more>checkbox: enable bold font
or
close all sakura terminals, open ~/.config/sakura/sakura.conf , change line: 'allow_bold=No' to 'allow_bold=Yes'
