Hello everyone,
i use xterm -bg black in ZSH and it is hard to me
to read the directories, as they are written in
dark blue by default. Sorry, but i didn't find
easily how to set up directory colors in ZSH.
Could any one help me?
Thank in advance!
Regards,
Leo

The directory colors are not a feature of zsh, they are part of GNU ls.
man dircolors; man ls. You can get rid of the colors with:
alias ls="ls --color=never"

Did you know that for the price of a 280-Z you can buy two Z-80's?

Yes, they are a feature of zsh. zsh completion can have the
same color scheme as GNU ls. Depending on how you configured it
in zsh with compinstall, it will use the same values as ls, so
you can tune it with dircolors(1). Otherwise, you can tune it
with the list-colors zstyle.
see info -f zsh --index-search=list-colors
You can also tune xterm colors with a X resource file. See X11
and xterm man page.
With XFree86 xterm, you can dynamically change colors with some
escape sequences, as well, though I think you can only change
background and foreground default colors.
print -n '\e]11;blue\a'

Through that escape sequence, yes ("dynamic" colors control sequence only
defined the foreground, background, cursor, etc). But the OSC 4 control
sequence allows changing any of the ANSI/ISO colors.
from ctlseqs.ms:
Ps = 4 ; c ; spec -> Change Color Number c to the
color specified by spec, i.e., a name or RGB specifica-
tion as per XParseColor. Any number of c name pairs may
be given. The color numbers correspond to the ANSI col-
ors 0-7, their bright versions 8-15, and if supported,
the remainder of the 88-color or 256-color table.

I change the colors client-side, in my terminal application.
