How can I change the overall default color for text of the whole system, be it for the GNOME panel,tty, shell, etc. Just the overall look and feel aspect of my system.

  1. To change the color on a tty you can use setterm. Example:

    setterm -background black -foreground green

    If you want this when you log in you can add it to .bashrc otherwise you need to manually do this every time you log in to a tty.

    Colors:

    [grey||bright][black||red||green||yellow||blue||magenta||cyan||white]

    There are more options in the man page.

    edit: This will not work if you are already using another color scheme.

  2. You might also be interested in color coding for directories (dircolors): What do the different colors mean in ls?
