Hi Allan,

Quick comment on color - it might be helpful to have a toggle to switch from dark to light terminals. ls uses an environment variable to permit changing the color map - that may be overkill - but a toggle for light vs dark background might be nice.

?Shouldn't a terminal configuration use colors that are always readable on the default background color anyway? Then, assuming that you're not overwriting the background color, the only two colors you should avoid are black and white. All the other colors should be fine. Instead of setting the foreground color to black/white you should just use the default foreground color, possibly bold. I assume this is already the case for pacman.

Hello, I have strange abs behaviour maybe you have an idea for this issue:

What do you mean by 'Help'?
He(?) probably meant
List-Help: <mailto:arch-general-request@archlinux.org?subject=help>
Other probable explanations: - "Help, what it this wall of text, how do I even." - "Help, how do I switch from digest mode to normal reception (or at least MIME digests)?" - "Help, my toaster broke." - "Help, I'm Emiel's cat and did't get fed this morning." etc. ;-) --byte (oh, hi Ralf... nah, I'll send this anyway)
You're probably right. I just wanted to invite him to describe his problem ^^
