Bug#479171: irssi: Default theme does not go well with white terminal background

[Tim Retout]

Package: irssi
Version: 0.8.12-3
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

The default irssi colour theme puts your nick and action nicks in bold
white. When using a white terminal background, which is the default for
at least gnome-terminal, these become hard to see.

This patch changes the default theme to make those sections use bold,
but use the default colour. The bold white activity messages in the
statusbar are left alone, because the background there is specified as
blue by default.

It would be nice if something like this could be applied to the Debian
package, and/or go upstream.

Thanks,

Tim Retout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
