    I want to set the color's palette of my terminal in order to use properly the Solarized colorscheme for Vim (http://ethanschoonover.com/solarized). I understand that i've to modify my .bash_profile but how? (I also installed https://github.com/amix/vimrc which provide some very cool stuff for Vim)

    Use either of the two scripts from this repository or adjust Terminal.app's default colors manually.

    osx - Fading Text Colors in Snow Leopard Terminal while scrolling?
  • physicsmichael

    I found some very odd behavior today while using the Terminal (I work in it a lot) that I'd never seen before. I just reformatted my HD and installed Snow Leopard on a clean partition, before using Migration Assistant to replace all my old goodies. I use SIMBL for color adjustments.

    While two finger scrolling using my MBPs trackpad, the text in the terminal changes from green to yellow. The text in the direction I am scrolling remains green and fades to yellow. If I scroll slowly, only one line is green before turning yellow immediately. If I scroll quickly, I get a smooth fade from green to yellow.

    I've never seen this before, it doesn't happen with the scroll bar, and I didn't see anything on a quick Google search. Has anyone ever seen this before or know what causes it?

    Have you:

    1. Tried removing the SIMBL 'plug-in' to see if the error still exists.
    2. Seen if the error (colour shifting) occurs in other programs?

    If it occurs in other programs you may have a corrupt ColorSync Profile. If it does not check for an update on your SIMBL 'plug-in'.

    You can change your ColorSync Profile in the Color tab of the Display Preference Pane.
