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