You need to find a light color theme that works well. You should edit |
| 27 |
your .Xdefaults (older documentation references .Xresources, which |
| 28 |
does not seem to be parsed by some modern utilities or X11 servers) to |
| 29 |
use that colorscheme. See the "export" tab on https://terminal.sexy/. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Pretty much every terminal should honor .Xdefaults, but if not, you |
| 32 |
will need to change the colors in a menu. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
If portage uses 256-color codes to specify an absolute color then that |
| 35 |
should be changed, it makes the program unthemable via the standard |
| 36 |
interface. It would also be an issue if portage used the less common |
| 37 |
RGB color escapes. |
