Colors in terminator

Question

I'm using terminator with Xubuntu 16.04. Unfortunately the terminal text does not highlight anything, when I used terminator on Linux Mint the username@computer: was highlighted in different colors and weight. Now its all plain text.

This question has already been answered here How to get a colored bash?

This has nothing to do with terminator

the easy way to have your colour "back" your shell is to uncomment one line in your .bashrc

Open~/.bashrc in text editor and uncomment line:

\#force_color_prompt=yes

to be:

force_color_prompt=yes

save then execute source~/.bashrc

hope this help
