This post explains how you can change the color of the Terminal prompt in Mac OS X. It also covers how to activate the Terminal color layout, a very useful feature that displays different colors depending on the character of the file or folder. By default, f.lux is at 6500K during the daytime, and does not change your screen's color. If you prefer very warm daytime colors, select Options Expanded Daytime Settings from the f.lux menu. Sunset is when the sun has set, but you are awake. If you are an early riser, this is also your pre-sunrise morning setting. Color Profiles Color profiles are settings files that tell your Mac how to adjust the color and contrast of its display. Your Mac can store lots of color profiles, and you'll find that it already has a handful. Go to System Preferences Displays, then click the Color tab, and you'll see a list.
Dark Mode is a dramatic new look that's easy on your eyes and helps you focus on your work. Dark Mode uses a dark color scheme that works system wide, including with the apps that come with your Mac. And third-party apps can adopt it, too.
Turn on Dark Mode
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click General, then select one of the Appearance options at the top of the window:
- Light: Use the light appearance.
- Dark: Use the dark appearance.
- Auto: Automatically use the light appearance during the day, and the dark appearance at night.
How Dark Mode works with some apps and features
Some apps and features have special Dark Mode settings or behaviors.
Mail. To use a light background for email messages while Dark Mode is turned on, open Mail and choose Mail > Preferences, then click the Viewing tab and deselect 'Use dark backgrounds for messages.'
Maps. To use a light background for maps while Dark Mode is turned on, open Maps and choose Maps > Preferences, then select 'Always use light map appearance.' In earlier versions of macOS, click View in the menu bar in Maps, then deselect Use Dark Map.
Notes. To use a light background for notes while Dark Mode is turned on, open Notes and choose Notes > Preferences, then deselect 'Use dark backgrounds for note content.'
Safari. When you use Dark Mode, Safari automatically shows a website in Dark Mode if the website has been designed to support it. If the website doesn't support Dark Mode, you can use Safari Reader to read articles in Dark Mode.
TextEdit.To use a light background for documents while Dark Mode is turned on, click View in the menu bar in TextEdit, then deselect Use Dark Background for Windows. (Requires macOS Mojave 10.14.2 or later.)

ls
OS X is based on FreeBSD, so some tools ls, top, etc. are BSD that, ls not the GNU ls, so even Terminal/iTerm2 configured color, but on the Mac typing ls command does not display highlighting can be solved by installing coreutils (brew install coreutils), but if the color is not picky ls there a simple way is .bash_profile in output CLICOLOR = 1
