It definetely is a question of taste. And of the window-manager (the coloring
scheme must somehow fit together). And of the monitor probably.
At home I actually enjoy gnome-terminal with black on light grey, trying
to imitate my CDE white-on-bluegrey looks terrible...
BTW. In the meantime I did dig somewhat deeper and finally got
"color index default default ."
to work. As of the documentation, the pattern
Usage: color index foreground background [ pattern ]
should be [optional] but it is not... So when I tried
"color index default default"
I good this non-understandable error message about a missing parameter.
Best regards,
