I mentioned in First Steps with Radare2 on Ubuntu 18.04 that I needed to reset the default colors in Radare2, along with making the font larger.
Itay Cohen, @megabeets_, quickly responded:
Hi Patrick! I read that you had a bit of a struggle with the font colors. Did you know you can change the color theme? Just use “eco
“. Screenshots of the different themes are available here: https://r2wiki.readthedocs.io/en/latest/home/themes/#themes. You can also use the Visual Color editor “VE”. Try ‘ec?’
Great way to change displays!
Since I am running XFCE as a desktop, ctrl + and ctrl -, don’t change the terminal font size. (Or at least I’m missing now to make that work in XFCE.)
For the time being, I’m starting r2 in an Emacs shell, which allows me to reset the font size quite easily. With the added advantage of being in Emacs!
Now to try out “eco
Several people mentioned that I should try Cutter, the new GUI for Radare2. Going to but I’m comfortable with command line interfaces. Not to mention that experience with the command line will enable me to notice groupings in the GUI.
