I would really love it if my font stayed colorful I pipe lolcat through everything I can’t help it! The colors are so happy and vibrant does anybody know if there is an option in termux styles that may be similar? I didn’t try all the options yet.

Thanks

I'm trying to get this to work at logon. In my file /etc/update-motd.d/00-header, I have a line that says:

echo "Hello and welcome..." | /usr/games/lolcat

And while it says, "Hello and welcome..." it is black. Yet when I manually run the script, it is colorful? Any idea why it's not colorful at logon? I'm using Ubuntu 20.04.

In reply to Andrew Woodhead. Edit aliases eg: alias teste = 'figlet teste | lolcat ' to edit the aliases of a vim (or gedit) eg: vim $ HOME / .bashrc. It will be all your aliases...

In reply to Andrew Woodhead. I have the same question as well, what I did for now is to create an alias for some selected commands and then pipe lolcat.
