iTerm Background and Text Color Modifications

I really like iTerm as most people in the OS X world do. The one thing that I hated and hade no solution for was the white background and black text. Below I show how to change these settings to make it feel more like a terminal that I am used to.

Go to the iTerm ‘View Session Info…’ window:

iTerm Session Info

Now that you have access to the session preferences window you will be able to edit all of the items for a window for the current session of for the ‘Window’ or the ‘Session’. I made my changes on the ‘Session’ tab so that I could set the default look of the terminal window.

With the changes made you can click on the ‘Update Default’ button to finalize the your default configuration.

Final Result

Pretty easy settings, but I found that the location of these were not in the ideal location. I was hoping that they would be in the ‘Preferences’ window. Oh well, I got it looking the way that I like.

iTerm rocks!

The Linux Super Mario – Super Tux

Like the Nintendo hit Super Mario Bros. comes the Super Tux. Great game! It kinda reminds me of Super Mario Bros. game play with The Legend of Zelda 2 Map layout.

Check out the game play:

And the map layout:

Opera: 421 Server Error

Well it seems that I am out of luck for now. Let’s see how long. I went to download Opera for my Mac and what did I receive instead of my Opera_9.24_Setup.dmg? A server 421 error:

Opera 9 - Server Error 421

Although it says that I have to many connections from my address, I have only tried to download it once. Do they have an ftp problem maybe?

Well it has been ten minutes now and my download has started.

Once the download started all was well and very snappy. I have to wonder did they just get slashdot’ed? Or maybe the browser is getting more of the market (by the way check out the search engine and browser version reports)?

I do not usually use Opera as a primary browser, but mostly for testing my css. Well I have it now so I am off to test a little.
