I recently upgraded to Lion only to find that Terminal.app (and iTerm2, which I actually use instead) have totally lost all colors. This means no syntax highlighting in Vim, no colored directory names or filenames, no nothing. I've tried playing around with the terminal-type option in the preferences (for both apps), changing it to xterm-256color
, xterm-new
, xterm
, etc. but all to no avail.
However! When I SSH into a remote machine in Terminal.app, I get colors! Everything works as it once did. Although this isn't the same with iTerm2, where I'm still left colourless.
ls
on a directory and you see different files and folders, and you are wanting to change the color of the folder.
