When using the commandline, are the fonts still only black and white?

It seems that only when the command is 'ls' that the fonts are not black and white.

But the color in ls is used to distinguish between directories, files, scripts, executables, etc., right? There isn't need for color normally unless you set your own console color settings.

Yes,you are right. But what should I do then?
It's very boring that the fonts are black and white now!

Go to Settings->Schema and select something from the drop down list.
(This all done from memory as I am not on my Linux box at the moment.)

I mean that the fonts are not color. eg. I type vi main.cpp

#include <qstring.h> //this should be red/green in konsole
......
int main() //and this will be color too.

In fact, the fonts are just black not color in the konsole.
That's very boring .Can you help me ?

Sorry I didn't mean to be arrogant or ignorant I just got an obsession with the latest and the greatest. I have to always upgrade things and it is not always for the best as I’ve noticed but I keep trying anyway. :roll:
