For the record, I don't like that rendering; bold is used in our default
colored 'ls' for many things, and the colors look just bad in comparison
to what we had before.
Yep, current implementation is inconsistent at least with xterm, Konsole
and XFCE Terminal. In my opinion, as we are on GUI OS - there are no
reasons to fake bold with brighter colors.
BTW, I'm trying to improve a bit our Terminal application:
- actualize termcap to most actual version converted from ncurses'
terminfo.src;
- switch to TERM = "xterm-256color" that looks like modern version of
xterm we have to support nowadays;
- implement Background Colors Erasing that is "must have" feature for
xterm/xterm-256color emulation and alternate screen buffer applications
like Midnight Commander;
- Restore the Foreground/Background colors configurability and do not link
it to ANSI 0/7 colors;
- etc, etc, etc...
My Sandbox repository is here: https://gitorious.org/sz-sandbox/terminal
and most of the list above is already fixed in it. ;-) At least my MC
build has no issues with it.
