(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***) Package: konsole Version: 1.0.1 (using KDE 2.1.1 ) Severity: normal Installed from: Linux-Mandrake 8.0 i586 Compiler: gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Linux-Mandrake 8.0 2.96-0.48mdk) OS: Linux 2.4.2-11mdksmp i686 OS/Compiler notes: the same colors are used on both a black and white background which means that users get stuck with abysmal contrast. what was quite different from black becomes unreadable on white. the colors should remain the same while the intensities should invert... dark blue exchanged for light blue and vice versa...THEN FINE TUNED...they should ALL be readable on the background and some of the black background colors won't do (so if you blaze through this bug report by swapping lines of text in a .scheme file then you're not really fixing the problem...and i think gnome is similarly screwed on this point but there you can configure manually at least...i "should" go report that bug too but i'm so sick and tired of reporting linux bugs...) it is not reasonable to expect that users will or should need to change their color_ls settings in order to get a black-on-white text display in konsole.

Really old bug report. Black/White and White/Black schemas both look O.K. to me.
