Trick Out Your Terminal With Shell Color Scripts DistroTube I have spent the last week or so trying to clean up some of my GitLab projects, including my 'shell-color-scripts' program. If you're not familiar with 'shell-color-scripts', it is the program that gives me a random color script every time I open a terminal. - https://gitlab.com/dwt1/shell-color-scripts

This reminds me that during the summer I took an online course in bash scripting and decided as a first project to use DT's color scripts from his gitlab and remake it in bash so I could run it on non arch based distributions (I was using Fedora at the time). It works quite well. The main goal from the get go was to make it as distribution agnostic as possible and it even prompts the user to run upon shell startup.

i love this color script i'd love to know how you made one. if there's a way to create your own. i finally figured out some of the stuff with awesome. and i got awesome running with config (copycat themes) im glad i found you its awesome the things i've learned or figured out (by making attempts) several times. there's still stuff idk how to do but gotta start somewhere.

I might suggest doing the configuration in the user's home directory instead. Perhaps, on first run you could create some default lists in -/.config/colorscripts, and specify which to use like -colorscript -L non-animated', for instance. Alternatively you could put your list of blacklisted files in the config dir, which would be a smaller change to the code.

Color scripts are cool not gonna lie, but i (and most people) like having hardware/software information displayed at the start of the terminal launch...For me i just like theming neofetch that displays my system info and have a nice yet powerful terminal start! And a video on heavily customizing neofetch deserves the review too.

hi, dt. I didn't find my question in comments, so I put it here. Can we set video in terminal instead of colors? I mean high resolution video, not just video created with some character symbols, as some network resource propose, like -mplayer - mpv- -vo caca video.-mp4 - mkv - etc...-
thank you

Does the blacklist flag works with the older version of colorscript ? I have some of the scripts that take half of my screen and it would be easier than go search for them and delete them
Edit: input error
Doesn't seem it was implemented before.

hey dt i know you've done some videos on different shells and stuff but what's the difference in using bash vs zsh. i've noticed that like for instance your files you have the same stuff in both shells could you maybe do some more beginners videos to,

What a coincidence -
Yesterday i watched DT's dotfiles 1hour video ... today morning I visited his gitlab website and checking all cool stuff and also installed colorshellscrpt ..it was really nice..
Now DT came with same video-..

Hey DT, been running these scripts for a few months on my 12 year old Asus Eee pc 900a running AntiX Linux. It was the perfect touch to rice up this little old x86 pc with 2gb of RAM. Thanks for doing it and the rest of your videos!

Hey DT. I installed the shell-color-script from AUR but every time I update the packages with yay I get this - -> shell-color-scripts: local (1.1.r83.1309cef-1) is newer than AUR (1.1.r39.143937f-1)-. What does this mean?
