I prefer the more straightforward RGB model which is what is used in the Linux VTs but also in X (e.g., in ~/.Xresources) but I know of something to the extent of what you mention and that is xdark by Sam Watkins. It isn't in the Debian repos but should be possible to find. Anyway despite its name it works for the ttys as well as X (as long as invoked via X). What I do is set the colors in terms of the colors (mostly), then I adjust the brightness with xdark to compensate for different projectors and the like. I have some material on this here, including a tutorial which isn't that old: http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573/cols/www/index.html Here is how xdark is used: $ xdark -h usage: xdark [-i] [[from-brightness] to-brightness] without args, it reads the values brightness should be between 0.0 (dark) to 1.0 (bright) -i invert try: xdark 0.5 xdark xdark 1 0 xdark 0.5 0 xdark 1 These little helpers are life savers, literally. -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
