I also dislike the colorization, but for a more specific reason. Gentoo seems |
| 16 |
to assume one is using white on black rather than the default black on white |
| 17 |
in terminal windows. This makes yellow lettering entirely unreadable to me. |
| 18 |
If I could just change all occurrences of yellow to orange (otherwise not |
| 19 |
much used) I'd probably not mind so much, but the entire scheme seems |
| 20 |
to be hard-coded. And I don't like white-on-black even though it's labelled |
| 21 |
"Linux console" in Konsole. |
