Well, then a better solution would be to not use colors that don't have good contrast on either a black background or a white background. Changing the default to black does not seem such a good idea just for that reason. AFAIK all major X terminal emulators default to have white background, and no other terminal application defaults to have a dark background, so lynx changing the default to have a black background is very strange. _______________________________________________ Lynx-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lynx-dev
