The thing is that I would like to avoid starting all programs / commands with different flags. For example to disbale colored output for 'qpkg' one has to write 'qpkg -nc' and so forth... It was just a thought that popped up the other day when I had problems identifying the text. Cheers, The color-blind ;-) |

For example to > disbale colored output for 'qpkg' one has to write 'qpkg -nc' and so > forth... I know, that was why I suggested you used an XTerm that won't display color at all. Everything you start in that xterm will be black/white only. Besides that, you can set up your .Xresources file to redefine the colors that your XTerm uses. That way, you can re-map colors you can't see to colors that you can. If you have interest in this, let me know and I'll see if I can come up with an example.
