Changing appearance of (x-)terminal
I know what I don't want to do, but don't know what other options I
have.
I regularly log in to four or five different systems. An oops on a
couple of those systems would ill-serve me and a couple of other
people.
How can I change the appearance of a session to a host, using host
based configuration?
I don't want to create shortcuts on my desktop that start a
terminal-with-fancy-colours to really.important.host.
What can I do, apart from looking at the prompt, to change the way a
session looks? Pointers are fine. I don't know where to start.
Shell, getty, system, ssh, can of paint?
Colours would be great, having a background image on the terminal
(if terminal support is available, otherwise ignore) would be
heaven. Any other obvious visual clues available?
Bob
