I’ve tried lynx and others, but elinks is my favorite
ncurses web browser, period. Its menus make everything convenient, and
its tab’ing experience is unbeatable. Along the years (about 12 or 13) I
grew tired of the color scheme. To my surprize, I could not find color
themes online for users to download. Unlike such applications like
irssi, mutt, or Vim, I could not find color themes for elinks.
So I made one.
Copy-paste the chunk below in your ~/.elinks/elinks.conf
file.
It will give you a red and yellow kind of theme, while the background is kept black and the actual text to read is white.
As a bonus, it will also show you your machine’s temperature, and a clock. Enjoy!
## ELinks 0.15.0 configuration file
## This is ELinks configuration file. You can edit it manually,
## if you wish so; this file is edited by ELinks when you save
## options through UI, however only option values will be altered
## and missing options will be added at the end of file; if option
## is not written in this file, but in some file included from it,
## it is NOT counted as missing. Note that all your formatting,
## own comments and so on will be kept as-is.
##
## Obviously, if you don't like what ELinks is going to do with
## this file, you can change it by altering the config.saving_style
## option. Come on, aren't we friendly guys after all?
