[IPython-dev] Colours in IPython 0.11 rc1 PPA package

[Thomas Kluyver]

Hi Julian,

I notice that IPython in the terminal, as installed from your PPA, uses the
LightBG colours by default on Linux, which makes some bits hard to see in
the standard dark-background terminal. Looking at the code, it looks like
get_default_colors() has been tweaked to return 'LightBG' on Linux. I'd
prefer to have it back to the standard code when you package the next
version, if that's alright.

In fact, I quite like some aspects of the theme, like the blue input
prompts, and I wouldn't mind helping to design a new colour scheme for dark
backgrounds. But until then, I think the 'Linux' colour scheme should stay
as the default.

Thanks again for the packaging,

Thomas
