So it | sounds like the default color theme may have actually changed. | Unfortunately I'm not equipped to answer that. | | I'll also say that many terminal emulators provide the ability to theme | them. So it may be that your terminal emulator has a 'high contrast' theme | of some sort that increases the contrast between the colors which emacs | will then inherit. | | Good luck! thanks ... i'll probe the xterm capabilities cheers, richard.
