Then please convince the PuTTY maintainer to use a bright background color by default, since PuTTY sets TERM to xterm, and xterm uses bright background. > May I suggest that the default is changed to 'bold instead of cyan.

It would be madness for us to agree to open that can of worms again before the release.
