Hi, All, |
2 |
|
3 |
For quite a few years I've had a low level irritation with the font |
4 |
colors in my x11-terms/terminal. I like a white background and a |
5 |
black font in my terminals, and that satisfies me perfectly 99.44% of |
6 |
the time. The colors that appear by default with the ls command are |
7 |
perfect. But the colors that appear when I do an emerge -ptDuNv, and |
8 |
the colors that appear when interactively merging config files with |
9 |
dispatch-conf (configured to use vimdiff) are sometimes completely |
10 |
unreadable. In particular, the light yellow font on a white |
11 |
background that portage uses sometimes is almost invisible. I have |
12 |
tried now and then in the past to develop my own color scheme, but |
13 |
without notable success. I once tried making the yellow darker in |
14 |
various ways, and that helped, but then the (formerly yellow) text |
15 |
became unreadable if I highlighted it. I tried dark backgrounds for a |
16 |
while, but I guess I have too many years of reading black print on |
17 |
white pages; dark backgrounds are just "wrong" for me. And I haven't |
18 |
found any satisfactory answers with web searches. Is there anybody |
19 |
with a font color scheme they like for use on a white background? |
20 |

Thanks for any suggestions, |
