Comment (by hunteke):
Replying to [comment:2 mtredinnick]:
''Color schemes only work against some backgrounds''
This is a valid argument. I personally use a dark background, and my
next-seat coworker uses a white background: it is hard for me to see
certain color bits on his background. This is an issue.
''and when you have perfect vision (or only a particular kind of color
blindness).''
This is also a (very) valid argument. However, to play Devil's Advocate,
I don't like being forced to an inefficient-for-me work process. On this
side of the fence, color is '''definitely''' a boon.
''We already have problems that the colorised output from things like
"validate" are all but unreadable in some cases, let's not make it worse
for normal run-of-the-mill stuff that you're going to be reading all the
time when you're developing.''
As you have rightly pointed out, and validly argued above, this '''is''' a
problem. However, I don't think it has to be one or the other. A happy
middle ground would be, as always, some knob to twist. Perhaps a setting
in the local {{{settings.py}}}. {{{COLORIZE_CONSOLE = True}}} or
something to that effect.
+1 for the "Design decision needed" stage of this ticket.
