make the red top from procps-ng display like the old top

See this post on the ArchLinux forum ArchLinux >> Newbie Corner >> Top is red

remove your ~/.toprc (if any)

  • start "top"
  • press z
  • press V
  • press 1
  • press y
  • press m m
  • press t t t
  • press W

this will write a ~/.toprc fairly similar to what you are used to.
