Colors in terminal version in Gnome Terminal

[rgieseke]

I have found some discussions on colors in Gnome Terminal and others as well as bold colors (e.g. #131 or orbitalquark/scinterm#40).

I found that I have to enable "Show bold text in bright colors" and have the "Palette" colors match the selected "Built-in scheme" to have everything readeble, so for example "GNOME" and "GNOME dark".
(Xterm displayed everything with the right colors by default.)

Maybe this helps someone or maybe someone knows a way to handle this from Textadept.

Maybe the Palette doesn't matter and I just had one which made dark on a dark background hard to read.

There is an FAQ entry about colors and Gnome terminal. It's not exactly related to readability, but it is sort of a known issue.

Thanks! I dimly remembered something and searched issues and discussions but hadn't checked the FAQ.
