Re: Colours used in mintty


Is there a way of changing the default text colours
used by mintty for directories, links, executables, etc?

>> From man mintty: use
 echo $'\e]4;3;255,255,0\a'
 and similarly, in a script.

I am using
echo $'\e]4;3;255, 0, 0\a' # color3 for devices
echo $'\e]4;6;139, 69, 19\a' # color6 for links
in .bashrc with the consequence that each new mintty terminal starts with 2 blank lines. Is there a way I can set the colors but suppress the newlines?

Use echo -n. (Sorry for public soliloquy.)
