Is it possible to highlight the "user@termial:" part written in the console. If I use several commands in a row which all produce large output it would be easier to determine where the last command was.

How it should look

In your .bashrc you can change the colors

You are looking for the following line

PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;32m\]\u\[\033[01;36m\]@\[\033[01;32m\]\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$ '
D-unit

  • Thank you for leading me to the file. However I am not very familiar with ANSI colors. Could you change the line so I have a for example blue background for the line? I changed some values ( all 33m to 44m) and reopened my console several times and nothing changed. Does this modification need a reboot or some additional settings? – Eppa Oct 08 '15 at 08:11

  • Ok now it worked. I had to uncomment the line saying: "force_color_prompt=yes". For the colours I used an ANSI-Table. Thanks for your help. – Eppa Oct 08 '15 at 10:23
