The default for the bash prompt and for ls --show-colors is to use bold fonts. This can be difficult to see, especially for a user with glasses. This was agreed by more than one user in the forum thread: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=22716 I would like to suggest that the following default settings are changed: In /etc/profile, replace export PS1='\[\033[01;31m\]\h \[\033[01;34m\]\W \$ \[\033[00m\]' with export PS1='\[\033[00;31m\]\h \[\033[00;34m\]\W \$ \[\033[00m\]' In /etc/DIR_COLORS, change all instances of "01;xy" to "00;xy".
a better change might be to make it optional via 'BOLD_COLORS' personally, i like em ;)
(In reply to comment #0) > In /etc/DIR_COLORS, change all instances of "01;xy" to "00;xy". I can't see any "01;xy" in /etc/DIR_COLORS and don't see bold fonts in ls --color, closing a really stale bug.
