Yep, that's one of the changes. Upstream xterm's colors are
slightly different from what Red Hat has shipped. I think they
used to be very ugly or something, so we added customizations to
make it prettier, then xterm cleaned itself up over time to look
nicer, but with slightly different shade of blue. That's not
fact, just personal hypothesis. ;o)
Would it be possible to get the same shade of
blue for gnome-terminal too?
:-) :-) :-)
The thing is, color ls + gnome-terminal + white on black is useless since
the default dark blue used for directories is nearly invisible. Of course if
one knows the fix (making it lighter :-) ) everything is fine, and with a
white background it's ok too.
Let me guess... "Upstream" :-)
