It was ignored. After it was ignored, I researched a bit more it and fixed it for myself. And kept it to myself because no one seemed interested. I replied yesterday to this thread's originator who had the same issue that I experienced. I told him to change color4 from DodgerBlue to something darker in his Xresources file. Simple answer to a simple question that no one here seemed to want to help me with. In other words, guys, you had the answer yesterday. I've been following this thread and I really can't believe that there were so many replies that just didn't answer the question! I've been using FreeBSD since the 2.0 days, quite happily, and quite quietly. I even shoveled my hard earned money out for CD sets to help the cause. I guess what I'm trying to say is the FreeBSD mailing lists used to be about helping each other, and lately, it's a lot more of "Look how brilliant I am." Now let's end this thread.
