Ask HN: Best MacOS terminal font/color configuration

2 pointsata_aman2 comments

Recently migrated from Ubuntu to Mac and I absolutely loved the Ubuntu terminal. Any tips on what the best terminal setup is on MacOS? On all the default setups, the fonts look weird and it's hard to read verbose results.

For many years, I have used yellow text on a blue background. The rationale is that the human eye is least sensitive to blue, and most sensitive to an orangey-yellow, and thus this combination is the easiest for your eyes to distinguish.

I pair that with xterm and the traditional 6x13 fixed font. But don't let that undermine the colour argument :-)

thanks! I've never used that color combo before. Giving it a try.
