More and more utility maintainers apparently think it's helpful to vary foreground colors according to context. It's not helpful - it's an arbitrary and unnecessary usability handicap. Red, blue and green as foreground colors are virtually invisible here. Now that zypper is doing it too, I need to stop it. What's necessary to keep all output in nice legible 2 color mode on the vttys?
What is a vtty, and what makes it different from a normal (current software implementation, not the 70s era's) tty?
I assumed that Felix was talking about the terminal that you get when you use CTRL-ALT-F1 (or similar).
I agree with Felix. I find the new color output difficult to read. I don't understand why people want to inflict this colored text on me. I already have to fix the color "ls" from the shell, the colored "vi". And now zypper is doing it to me.
In my case, perhaps it is my color vision ("deuteranomaly" I think). But 5% of the population have that condition, so would be similarly affected.
By all means add a "--color" option to zypper. People who like that can force it with a shell alias. Or make it an option in "zypper.conf" or somewhere similar. But for those of us who find it causes reading difficulty, can't the default be left at a standard monochrome?
On zypper using color: File "/etc/zypp/zypper.conf", Section "[color]", Item "useColors" On a new install it defaulted to "useColors = autodetect" Change that to "useColors = never" and it's gone.
