I am using colours happily to let my ruby scripts output different results (in other colours than white on black). I normally, if not always, use black background (my eyes arent that good ;)), normal text is white, then i go on usually with warnings or errors getting red colours, files, directories yellow etc etc. When i start ri, i see white text on black background. It would be fun to have them emphasized in some way (like pinfo does for man pages). Frankly, I dont care which colours would be choosen, any colour if isnt something ugly such as red on green, is better than no colour. But I'd totally understand the people who like fancy light/white/transparent background for no hardcoded solution. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
