I finally decided to figure out how to add some color to Terminal.app. By looking through some of the files on Ubuntu I was able to take Terminal display all the same colors. I also changed the format of the prompt a little bit to get the path at the end instead of in the middle.
To do the same thing:
1. Open Terminal.app
2. Type "nano .profile"
3. Paste in the following lines:
export PS1='\u@\h:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$ '
export CLICOLOR=1
4. Press ctrl+x and then "y" to save the file.
A few points to note:
1. If you already have a .profile you may need to edit it with "sudo nano .profile".
2. This only works with bash (as I understand it).
