You know, I asked this very same question on June 7.
<http://docs.FreeBSD.org/cgi/mid.cgi?20040607190503.F1160>
It was ignored.
After it was ignored, I researched a bit more it and fixed it for
myself. And kept it to myself because no one seemed interested. I
replied yesterday to this thread's originator who had the same issue
that I experienced.
I told him to change color4 from DodgerBlue to something darker in his
Xresources file. Simple answer to a simple question that no one here
seemed to want to help me with. In other words, guys, you had the
answer yesterday.

I've been following this thread and I really can't believe that there
were so many replies that just didn't answer the question!
I've been using FreeBSD since the 2.0 days, quite happily, and quite
quietly. I even shoveled my hard earned money out for CD sets to help
the cause.
I guess what I'm trying to say is the FreeBSD mailing lists used to be
about helping each other, and lately, it's a lot more of "Look how
brilliant I am."
Now let's end this thread.
