Description Damien Gombault 2007-07-16 13:58:46 UTC

I use a white background on my terminal ("Black on White" schema in Konsole).

I noticed equery displays some information with white color (ie. directory names with "equery files"). This is not really readable if you use a white background.

Maybe it should use the foreground color with a bold font instead.

Versions :
 - portage-2.1.3_rc8
 - gentoolkit-0.2.4_pre5

I have the same problem with xterm.
