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.
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.
If programs are defaulting to display with colour on terminals, it would make sense to have a global environment option honoured by all programs, telling them to use colour or not. I don't remember which one, now, but I have seen programs with colour choices that were nearly invisible to me (white on yellow?), and I have normal sight. The choices that work on a black terminal fail on a terminal that by default is whitish, like xterm. And the other way round. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
