Colors for M-x shell

Colors for M-x shell

[Sebastien Vauban]

Hello,

I'd like to change the color for the directories, executables, etc for
the shell mode.

Though, I don't see (for example) where the "bold blue2" gets defined
for the directories.

See http://screencast.com/t/y4hUcRquPec.

Can you give me a hint?

Best regards,
  Seb

PS- It'd be great to have just one definition that'd be used for both
Shell mode and the highlighting of the completions (when pressing
`C-x d TAB TAB') when one does have:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
  ;; provide the same facility of `ls --color' inside Emacs
  (autoload 'dircolors "dircolors" nil t)
  (add-hook 'completion-list-mode-hook 'dircolors))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I just wrote a post in response to how to set faces. It
was one or two posts back. That post includes a URL to
an Elisp file with a function to extract what face is
used at point.

Also how to set faces are exemplified in that file
(though perhaps you already know that).

I don't use the Emacs shell but it shouldn't be any
different from setting faces everywhere else.

If you are into that, I made an effort getting all that
straight. Check out:

I think `ansi-color-names-vector' in ansi-color.el.

But note that you must change it before starting shell to get an effect.

Yep. I've changed as well `ansi-color-faces-vector' to reset "bold" to
"default":

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
 '(ansi-color-faces-vector
   [default default default italic underline success warning error])
 '(ansi-color-names-vector
   ["black" "red3" "ForestGreen" "yellow3" "blue" "magenta3" "DeepSkyBlue" "gray50"])
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

A bit "aggressive", though... A pity that faces don't exist on their
own, for directories, executables, etc. (unlike in DiredP or Dircolors).

But the above meets my goal. Thanks...

Best regards,
  Seb

Extending shell-font-lock-keywords, defined in shell.el, should work.
