Salix Forums

I recognize this isn't specifically a Salix problem, but I am hoping someone can point me to the solution.

I am trying to enable color support for command line web browsers. I understand that the safe choice is for the packages for elinks, links, and felinks to have colors disabled by default, but i am trying to get it enabled.

I have tried stepping through the SlackBuilds steps/scripts to get colors enabled, but the scripts keep reporting errors.

Has anyone worked out how to enable colors?

Try to run with -g run with colors while -no-g run without colors

The first time I tried that, the system complained. Something about not having framebuffer drivers, but I must have correct that in my shotgun attempts at resolving it, because now it's working. Thank you!

What about w3m? Did you try that CLI browser already?

w3m is a nice choice. If you are familiar with Emacs, it has its own built-in browser and it is colorized by default (but you can turn it off,) plus it has many goodies for a CLI browser. I use it all the time in weak computers and when I am programming, because it's very lightweight and works great for everything except videos.
launch Emacs -> Alt+x eww

Thank you all - I'm not sure how to mark or change the topic to [Solved] but it is.
