Re: White-on-black terminal should be default
Fred . [2010-02-19 13:22 +0100]: Change the default colors to be white text on black background! That should entirely depend on the theme you select. Why should a light theme, where you have dark text on light bg everywhere suddenly swap the colors for the terminal? If you work during daylight, black text on light background is ergonomically much better, and also much more effective on a TFT (doesn't matter so much on CRTs).

Re: White-on-black terminal should be default
My personal opinion is that the default should be gray on black like the vc. For some reason the terminal colors just work better that way, particularly with midnight commander in a shell in a term. my two cents.
