hi,

it seems like a simple problem but i'm unable to find a solution here and in google.

when using the ls-command in x terminal the output is just monochrome. everything is black on white.
but i would like to have different colors for folders and files. for example folders in blue and files in green or something.
that would be especially helpfull if the file hasn't an extension like .mp3 or .doc etc.

the option --color=always isn't recognized by ls and other options don't seem to do what i would like to see.

can anybody help?
(i'm feeling pretty dumb right now because the problem looks too simple :/)
