Trick Out Your Terminal With Shell Color Scripts

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.

Your support is very much appreciated. Thanks, guys!

NOTE: I have decided to remove the animated color scripts due to some unforeseen bugs, namely processes still running in the background that suck up all of your CPU/RAM. :o

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.

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!

I was just wondering what the package was called you got those shell images from the other day! Really neat to see you made that yourself, I'll definitely check out your other GitLab projects sometime later.

Oh wow, good timing. This was coming up on my todo list from one of your older vidoes. As a AUR package, what a simple step to implement. Thanks a ton!

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.

[gwgux]

Ah so that's how you've been doing that. Thanks for doing a video about it!

[systemuser]

Hey DT! I appreciate this I definitely will be looking forward to using this.

This is a great program. I've had it my .bashrc & .zshrc. It is very pleasing to see a random art every time I open a terminal.

[ykenh]

nice! this vid cleared up my confusion about 'yay'

[JustWhyFFS]

This is great. I thought neofetch was cool (not that it isn't) but this is... just so good. Thanks man

Huh, couldn't find the script that kind of looks like a rainbow skyline. It was in your video but I couldn't find it in the package. Is it separate from you package? Love your videos and content. Thanks!

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?

[mohamedalichabani]

The real question is where do you find the colorscripts ? Or do you make them yourself

[pantsugoi]

can i add another color script? (customize). i have the .ans file, can it use to your shell-color-script? thankyou

[dancorvalan]

Bro, awesome topic, I need to add some color to my terminals, great timing! And bro, u should do that idea I had about what will be the ultimate computer desk setup/gaming setup using two projectors merged by edge blending creating one single extra wide workspace immersion that will be so awesome on its own and would easily give your already awesome channel even more viewers. Im unemployed and completely broke and I cannot afford trying this setup for now.. that's why im giving u the idea. Try it bro, it'll be killer! Also because we're currently in the verge of the AR/VR era; it will be epic, hear me out bro. Don't even need to have super expensive projectors, any entry level can be merged into a single piece. Man, this setup will be off the hook!

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

[JeffTurner]

Does any one know what happened to the Cool Retro Term? I did an up date on manjaro now it looks broken. Is it still maintained?

[nguyentuenhan]

Hi DT Can you share your starship config i've looked in your dotfiles but it was the old one from 2 years ago

[kaerithmallock]

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.
