colorterminal
I've installed the Solarized theme for Terminal.app and imported it. But my Terminal is all gray, I don't get color highlighting on anything. Not even running Python terminal generates any color. How can I get the color highlighting working properly?
On Snow Leopard you can install the TerminalColours plugin, which lets you modify the default colours.
On Lion you get a thoroughly updated Terminal.app that lets you do this out of the box and also supports 256 colours by default.
Just open up terminal, go to the preferences and select the theme (the .terminal file)

In the Solarized themes the bright green, yellow, blue, and cyan foreground colors seem to be almost the same as the default foreground color.
Or if you were expecting it to add color to new places, it doesn't. Terminal setting files only change the settings that can also be changed from Terminal's preferences, like the values of ANSI colors.
