Why? all you're doing there is changing to a different default colour scheme (one where all text is the same). I really don't see the point in changing, when I suspect the majority prefer colours. Switching colour on and off is simple enough, to why disturb the status quo? What was need is consistency between portage related applications, by which I mean that portage-related tools that are not part of portage should behave the same. I think it would also be good to provide a number of alternate colour profiles, instead of just on and off, so people could choose the one that suits their eyesight and environment. It would also make lfe easier for those of us switching between xterms with light backgrounds and VC with black backgrounds. What is absolutely clear is that none of this will be brought about by ranting at and insulting the devs who do this for no pay. In fact, such posts are against the new Gentoo Code of Conduct. -- Neil Bothwick Anything not nailed down is a cat toy...
