A lot of them themes I try with mintty, the text fades into the background with ls --color=auto, and I cant read it. I have xterm-256color. And then I have empty $LS_COLORS and no .dircolors. I would think a theme would be fully comprehensive. Are we supposed to build our $LS_COLORS to compliment the theme? That's what it seems like but that doesnt seem right , because then on-the-fly theme switching would not be possible. Why have all these cool themes if it takes hours each time to set them up. so I think im missing something.. ?
