Back on April 23, I started a thread on the color of dnf's output,
which petered out without reaching any conclusion. I let it age. Having
now gone back and re-examined the problem, I'd like to start over, and
maybe do better.
Part of the problem, and one of the things I failed to make clear,
is that I don't use pat colors. I began, long years ago, by setting
several different soft colors as backgrounds on different terminal tabs,
which were supposed to be easier on the eyes. Not seeing the colors I
wanted in the canned array, I invoked the GUI slider.
EXAMPLE: Editing a profile named bbi, I click on the color tab,
then on background. Up pops a box offering an array and also a button
with a + on it. Clicking that gets me a new box, with a vertical bar and
a square. The bar shows a spectrum; clicking anywhere on it colors the
square, and moving a dot around in the square determines both the shade
and the intensity of the background. Having done that, and accepted a
background color, I click on text, and go through the same process to get
a good contrast.
Until F32, this process worked like a charm. I can log into any of
my computers, go to any tab on the Mate terminal, and see at a glance who
and where I am.(Since my domain is hosted on a remote machine, the where
is not trivial.)
Until F32, when I entered a command on such a terminal tab, its
output came in the same color as what I had typed. Now it differs, and
that is fine. But the default is unreadable against my background.
Might we (pretty please!) get one more choice on the screen for
choosing colors? It could be labelled "output" and work just like text,
background, and (optionally) bold; or it could use the bold color by
default.
Am I making sense this time??
