I think, this should be done in short period by a small coordinated team which modifies all the init scripts and files bugreports or NMUs the stuff. But this should be done somedays after the Woody release. I imagine following: /etc/init.theme: created manually or symlink to a file in /etc/initcolors/. In this directory, we may have: default-gray black-and-white traffic-lights --- /etc/initcolors/traffic-lights: # this file is parsed by a POSIX shell # we get some color definitions for our terminal . /etc/initcolors/$TERM.inc || source /some/where/a/fallback/definition # default font color TEXT=$GRAY # okay color OKAY=$GREEN # doubt, not critial error messages DOUBT=$YELLOW # failure FAIL=$RED --- An modified init script would then use something like... ${TEXT}Saving audio settings: ${OKAY}mixer, ${FAIL}mixer1. ${DOUBT}Muting: ${OKAY}mixer, ${FAIL}mixer1, ${DOUBT}done.
