Subject: ls --color scheme

Howdy all!

For the record, this is what I have found out about changing ls color scheme.

These three lines in my .bashrc file allow me to configure the color system by extension.

alias ls="ls --color=auto"
LS_COLORS="di=31;1:ln=36;1:ex=31;1:*~=31;1:*.html=31;1:*.shtml=37;1"
export LS_COLORS

And the output of this command: dircolors --print-database | less tells me about colors and codes etc that I can use..
