Package: nano Version: 2.2.6-1+b1 Followup-For: Bug #631132 Another unfortunate colour combination is "blue on black". To fix this, I have copied all the files /usr/share/nano/*.nanorc to ~/.nano_syntax/ and edited ~/.nanorc to reflect this change. As I now use a white on black terminal, I replaced all occurances of "brightblue" with "cyan" in those syntax files:
~/.nano_syntax$ msrp brightblue cyan *.nanorc since blue on black was almost unreadable. It would be nice to be able to define the colours in one place, and the syntax highlighting in another. E.g. one would define def NORMAL = white def ALERT = red def COMMENT = cyan and so on in one place, and then only refer to "NORMAL", "ALERT" and "COMMENT" and so on in the actual definitions of the syntax highlighting for each file type, not explicit colours. I think this is how it is done in the text KDE editor kate, and it allows the user to easily change a color that doesn't well on his/her screen, or to do any necessary changes when switching between "white on black" and "black on white" terminals.
