ConEmu + ls -- 256 colors not working

3

I'm using ConEmu (specifically Cmder's version). Running 'cmd', it supports 256 colors (top).

However, I can't get other programs to run in 256 color mode. I've tried Perl (middle) and ls (bottom), but both run in 8/16 color mode.

Cmder - 256 vs 8 color mode

Any suggestions on how to fix this. Mostly I'd like ls to work in 256 color mode.

Actually, the official docs contains all answers:

Why not to read them?

To enable 256 colors in ls you have to run cygwin/msys connector and disable backscroll buffer with -cur_console:h0 while starting your task. Of course, that must not be {cmd} task, but {bash} task with connector.

I think I have the settings right: 'TrueMod (24bit color) support', 'ANSI X3.64 / xterm 256 colors’, and ‘Inject ConEmuHk’ are all enabled. I can' find where to turn off scrolling. perl 256colors2.pl -cur_console:h0 produces the same output as above, except now the first line of the prompt is printed twice. – MinchinWeb – 2016-01-30T00:23:50.070

With the second part of your comment, are you saying that 256 color mode for ls only works on {bash} and not {cmd}? – MinchinWeb – 2016-01-30T00:26:21.797

I did not say that. Read the answer again. – Maximus – 2016-01-30T08:46:28.417
