Re: [S.u.S.E. Linux] slrn, rxvt, and colors
Just out of curiousity, where did you hear that we see a light shade as foreground? We have been using white paper with black letters for centuries. Steve Cohen P.S.

-- As a matter of concern...why would anyone default(or set) to a white background, or any color scheme featuring dark colored text on a light background? This can be proven to be ergometrically(sic) counter to the brains normal functioning of reading light as foreground and dark as background, not to mention(i just did) the sunburn on the eyeballs that results from a blareingly bright screen... Unfortunately, due to the use of default use of black text(in unpredictable locations) in many online documents,i am forced to compromise and use a paleish lime green background for my orange(or lime-green?!?)text, ewhich is normally set on a black or indigo back ground.. I know that this color scheme harkens back to the old monochrome days(and i use color, where applicable to express information)(my little computer brainiac brother reacted with an "EWWW/") yet on the outside i figure there was some reason for it(maybe it was the low cost of orange and green phosphors, i dunno...
