My sympathies to the OP. I fought against dark terminal backgrounds |
| 27 |
for years (paper is white and ink is black, right?), tweaked all the |
| 28 |
colors through every mechanism I knew of, and never did arrive at a |
| 29 |
satisfactory result. I finally decided to waste my time in other, |
| 30 |
less frustrating pursuits, and turned all my backgrounds black. Now |
| 31 |
everything works perfectly, and I'm used to dark backgrounds. Problem |
| 32 |
solved. You, of course, are free to prefer light backgrounds, but in |
| 33 |
my experience Grant's answers ("You can't" and "Nope") sum up the |
| 34 |
situation so precisely and succinctly that I just had to laugh |
| 35 |
(thanks!). |
