14 Hmm, yes, I believe you're right.
15
16 As I prefer light foreground on dark background (like a normal text-mode
17 VC), "Linux Colors" is the color-scheme I always use, and it works well
18 for me, particularly since I the color-codes for ls and portage, etc,
19 probably show up better on a dark background since that's what they're
20 designed for.
21
22 But if you prefer a light background, but not /too/ light (thus a light
23 but not white paper texture/color), there's several schemes that do that,
24 but it doesn't appear that there's actual image background yet, you're
25 right.
26
27 I was just asking because I couldn't really imagine konsole not
28 working... but it seems it's color-scheme you're having problems with,
29 not broken functionality. And I can identify, because I sure have
30 problems with light backgrounds, so I can't blame you for being picky
31 about wanting your particular color/image-background setup at all. I'd
32 certainly find it unacceptable if all it had were light backgrounds!
