Hi,
I want to suggest a small change that can improve dircolors default
accessibility.
The current default (view default screenshot) is:
OTHER_WRITABLE 34;42 # dir that is other-writable (o+w) and not sticky
that is not easy to read.
I'm using
OTHER_WRITABLE 30;42 # dir that is other-writable (o+w) and not sticky
to improve the readability of this kind of directories.
I'm wondering if this can become a new default.
I agree that this is a bit hard to read.
Actually in general I disagree with using colors at all for mode bits like this,
as it's confusing as to what color combination means what.
Instead I prefer to disable confusing colors and highlight
the non standard mode bits directly, which I do with a wrapper script:

Given that no particular color combination is significantly better here,
I would err on the side of keeping colors as is for some familiarity at least.
thanks,
Pádraig
