      @olivierlambert said in New XCP-ng "theme" in shell:

      OK, but why not using xe CLI?

      Sometimes I use xe, sometimes XCP-ng Center, sometimes xsconsole.

      I mean, it's faster and you can get exactly what you need without moving the cursor in ncurse info?

      Typing tens of characters is not faster than pressing a few keys (like arrow, arrow, enter).
      Especially standing at a not familiar keyboard in a server room.

      Regarding the size, feel free to take a look at the source, it's written in Python 🙂 https://github.com/xenserver/xsconsole

      This question is not only pertaining xsconsole.

      I tried various things, but the most what I achieved was during the boot phase. After this, the CLI resolution reverts to very small characters again 😞

        Unless it's an environmental decision to make the xsconsole as dim and washed out as possible, to save power, my humble suggestion would be to multiply the fgBright values by 1.249 to get 999,431,372, if my math is correct, and set fgNormal to something like 930,930,930

        fgDark could either remain at its current values or be set to fbBright

          Feel free to try on your install and use screenshot to show the diff 🙂

            I did do it on my install, that's why I'm suggesting it.
            The default values made me thing I had a semi-transparent film all over my display.

            My install is on a physical machine (a laptop) so I don't know how I'd take a proper screenshot.
            I don't think a phone photo would show the difference.

              @olivierlambert I think this is probably the most sensible of the schemas so far.
              The dark background reduces glare, text is high-contrast, and the red actually draws the eye as a highlight or accent color. Looks sharp!

                  Thanks for your input!

                  I think it might be the one then 🙂 Also, if there is a big problem with it, we can always update the package!
