Here is what I use in ~/.bashrc

sed -e 's/ The .* to /\x1B[33;44;5m&\x1B[0;37;44m/' \

However, I only want this in an interactive shell, so I test whether PS1
is greater than 0 in size.
    if [ ! -z "$PS1" ]
I only want this with a new shell, not a subshell.  So I test for the
shell level.
    if [ ${SHLVL} = 1 ]

I apologize for the lack of credit for the sources of the graphics; I
don't remember where I found them.

Enjoy!
