I'm still in recovery from "your mother dresses you funny" syndrome,
and so my color choice aesthetics are not really all that trustworthy.
I'd recommend we use John Kramer from PSB to sanity check
color choices. SOMEONE who does color professionally should
weigh in here.
My uninformed judgements:
I think a black background is too damned dark.
I think the default gnome blue background CLASHES with the color that
the title bar goes when the window is active.
White white for an xterm background may be too harsh. The very very
light grey may have been chosen to improve readability!
I think the above three judgements should be sanity checked with a bona
fide graphic designer.
My informed judgements:
I agree with ghudson about leaving zwgc and console alone.
