Trying it on FC1 - The first thing I noticed is - the 'blue' color used by 'ls --color=auto' for 'dir' listings is different (a bit lighter shade. Not sure if this is a bug - but don't mind this new color.
Yep, that's one of the changes. Upstream xterm's colors are slightly different from what Red Hat has shipped. I think they used to be very ugly or something, so we added customizations to make it prettier, then xterm cleaned itself up over time to look nicer, but with slightly different shade of blue. That's not fact, just personal hypothesis. ;o)
Would it be possible to get the same shade of blue for gnome-terminal too? :-) :-) :-)
The thing is, color ls + gnome-terminal + white on black is useless since the default dark blue used for directories is nearly invisible. Of course if one knows the fix (making it lighter :-) ) everything is fine, and with a white background it's ok too.
Let me guess... "Upstream" :-)
