(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***) Package: konsole Version: 1.0.1 (using KDE 2.2.2 ) Severity: wishlist Installed from: Not Specified Compiler: Not Specified OS: Linux OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified Hello! I use the following escape sequence to control the background color of xterm sessions when logging in to different machines: PS1="\[\033]11;lightgreen\007\033]0;\u@\h\007\033[0;34m\]\u@\h:\w>\[\033[0m\] " xterm works but my konsole windows always have the same background color. I use this simple trick to differentiate between telnet sessions to different hosts by looking at the background color of the window. Each color means a specific machine for example: lightyellow ... machine 1 lightgreen ... machine 2 lightred ... production machine 1 NCD terminals support it xterm too but konsole not (yet). Kind regards Robert Saurer (Submitted via bugs.kde.org)
What you could do at the moment is create a new session type for each of your hosts (for example see $KDEDIR/share/apps/konsole/linux.desktop) which contains as "Exec" the telnet/ssh command and "Schema" specifies a schema. KDE 2.2 has a schema editor in Control Center and 3.0 has a session editor.
Konsole for KDE 4 supports this escape sequence to set background colours.
