Welcome. Just remember where you put that. The dev seems to be
reverting that so it may get overridden or cause some other issue when
we upgrade. In other words, we may have to take that out when it gets
changed back.

Oh thank you so much. That worked like a charm. For those needing a
example, here you go. In my /root directory I put this .eixrc file:
# BOOLEAN
# This variable is only used for delayed substitution in COLORSCHEME{,_ALT}.
# If true, the dark color schemes (for black background) are selected.
DARK=true
# STRING
# If TERM_ALT does not match, this chooses the corresponding color of
# color specifications (starting from 0).
COLORSCHEME=%{?DARK}0%{else}2%{}
# STRING
# If TERM_ALT matches, this chooses the corresponding color of
# color specifications (starting from 0).
COLORSCHEME_ALT=%{?DARK}1%{else}3%{}
I have my konsole set to a black background and I can see this really
well. I changed colors just to make sure but everything seems to be
there like it was before the change happened.
So, copy and paste away.
Dale
