Does anybody know of a shell program (like Konsole) where the color changes depending on the type of file it is? For instance, regular files would be denoted white (on black), linked files denoted by red, and directories denoted by blue?

Thanks in advance!
 
Having coloured output is set by your shell environment and the ls command itself.

What shell and operating system are you using?
 
usually it is enabled by default, you probably just have to alias your ls command, e.g:

alias ls="ls -h --color=auto"
 
set the enviroment variable CLICOLOR and ls will color code the output.

I don't get why people suggest this. Setting an ENV variable is gauranteed success, not everyone can go install a port.
 
Again it is just an alias, for csh and FreeBSD I use:

alias ls ls -FGa
setenv LSCOLORS "exfxcxdxbxegedabagacad"
