What shade of blue do you have configured? The default is this impossible to read shade of dark blue, so the first thing I do is configure a different, readable shade of not-so-dark blue.

They usually just set it to #0000FF. So the first thing to do is synch bashrc.

Ya that dark blue on black is the worst. The moment the world went past 16 colors it should have been disposed of.

Nah, yellow on white is the worst. Authors, please stop assuming everyone uses a dark background (and consider looking up ‘astigmatic halation’).
