Hello,
I have default console colors (black background etc). Is there a way to select
different colors for background, files, directory etc. Having trouble with low contrasts.
Menu->Utility->Urxvt Terminal Control
Thanks!
OK, you want us to guess what Puppy version you are using. 
We will guess it is using URXVT for the console.
So I will guess it has no menu entry.
This is how to do it from console/terminal:

I went also in troubles, with colors in urxvt.
My Solution:
rename /usr/bin/urxvt to urxvt_bin
make an new (sh-)script file named urxvt:
Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh
# anders die Farben nicht dauerhaft hin bekommen :-( / found no other way for permanent colors of scrollbar
exec urxvt_bin -bg rgb:55/00/00 -fg rgb:DD/CC/AA -scrollColor '#D3A36E' -troughColor '#1DD146' -sr -fn "xft:Monospace:pixelsize=12" "${@}"make that script executable
now you have (permanent)
coloured scrollbar,
xft:font (Monospace in example) size 12
back- and foreground-colors (brown/red/yellow in example)
Scrollbar on right side (-sr)
(works in upup-ef, should work in many puppies using urxvt)
hope it helps
