I'm using xterm-color in xterm, and cons25 in the console, it just seems *alot* darker than what I had in linux. This goes for things like BSD ls and vim. Any suggestions on making it brighter or prettier without having to mess with the vim config? I compiled vim on both Linux and FreeBSD right from source, using all default settings, and the colors look *alot* different with syntax highlighting on between both systems. If anyone knows how to fix this, please let me know.
