What colorscheme does it use or how to change it

[milasudril]

I would like to make it look like CGA. This should be Linux-colors I think. By default, it looks ubuntu-like. I see no option to change the color scheme.

If you click on the menubar option for Edit, then go to Settings, you can find all of the preference options. Select a profile you'd like to modify, or create a new one. Then go to the other tabs and mess with everything you see fit.

If you'd like to use a prebuilt theme, just click Profiles and select one.

If you've disabled the Menu bar, you can hold right click on the console to bring it up.

I am looking for something like this:

Hi @milasudril ... Sadly this is currently not possible. You can customize foreground and background color but the colorScheme is set in:

https://github.com/Swordfish90/cool-retro-term/blob/master/app/qml/PreprocessedTerminal.qml

You can change it there, but there are no plan to support it via GUI at the moment.

Now that I have found the loaded file I can change it manually. Maybe there could be some option for setting the file. Anyway:

color 2 0 0 0 0 0 # regular color 0 Black
color 3 170 0 0 0 0 # regular color 1 Red
color 4 0 170 0 0 0 # regular color 2 Green
color 5 170 85 0 0 0 # regular color 3 Yellow "Brown"
color 6 0 0 170 0 0 # regular color 4 Blue
color 7 170 0 0 0 0 # regular color 5 Magenta
color 8 0 170 170 0 0 # regular color 6 Cyan
color 9 170 170 170 0 0 # regular color 7 White

color 12 85 85 85 0 0 # intensive color 0
color 13 255 85 85 0 0 # intensive color 1
color 14 85 255 85 0 0 # intensive color 2
color 15 255 255 85 0 0 # intensive color 3
color 16 85 85 255 0 0 # intensive color 4
color 17 255 85 255 0 0 # intensive color 5
color 18 85 255 255 0 0 # intensive color 6
color 19 255 255 255 0 0 # intensive color 7

This gives the look of an mid 80's early 90's DOS PC in VGA mode. Do you use a 9x14 font or the later 9x16 font? The zero indicates the former.

[Swordfish90]

Nice! You are using the scanlined version which should be the 1981 8x8 variant of that font. You can also find the 8x16 variant, but you need to set "Rasterization" to "Default" in order to use it.

Here's the specific link to those fonts if you want to play with them:

how do you set these variables in PreprocessedTerminal.qml? Sorry, I have never even heard of qml before this point.
