How to change the syntax highlight color in GNU Enscript?

GNU Enscript is a free replacement for Adobe enscript program, and I downloaded it for syntax highlighting and *.ps output, but can I change the default color model? I found that there is a file named c.st in /usr/share/enscript, but it's just listed about keywords but not their colors.

For example, the keywords such as int is green, but I think blue looks better to me.

How to change the syntax highlight color in GNU Enscript?

Solution

  • It looks like the file with the default color definitions is in /usr/share/enscript/style_ifh.st -- I believe the line you want to change is:

    face_keyword[fg_color] =    language_color ("SeaGreen2");

    File enscript.st defines all the color names known to enscript - in my copy, the color definitions are on line 190-221. Search for define_color.
