Public bug reported:
I prefer very light background colors, unlike the default xterm's black.
Some time ago, less(1) changed its way of doing highlights (such as when
displaying man pages) so that they are pure white. This makes them much
harder, rather than the intended easier to read.
This should be under user control, and the documentation should give a
clue, or perhaps just a better clue. As it is I cannot see how to make
less(1) work well with my gnome-terminal.
