From a couple of weeks I use htop in my work to get a fast view about the system status, htop is an an interactive process viewer for Linux, similar to classic UNIX top, but with some enhancements, for example a more configurable view, the integration with strace
and lsof
programs and much more.
But (and it’s a big “but” for me) I really dislike the color scheme that use by default. htop comming with five color schemes, but I cannot find any beautifull one (from my personal point of view, of course), so I decided to make a new schema. I called “blueweb” theme (dont’ ask) ;). And here is the result:

You can download the patch file for the htop source code. And yes, unfortunately you need to patch the code.
Now my htop looks nice 🙂
Enjoy!
