Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
The default Konsole profile (Vapor) has bad color choices. For example background color for OTHER_WRITABLE is 42 and is supposed to be green but in Vapor it's light blue. When using ls on a mounted drive this background color is shown. The text for the directory names is also blue, making this unredable.
See the screenshot where the top is the "default built-in profile" and below is the steam os Vapor profile. The default isnt' very readable either (blue on green) but Vapor is completely unredable (blue on blue)
Steps for reproducing this issue:
- Attach a USB drive
- run ls command in Konsole while in the drive directory that contains other directories
Expected: redable directory names
Actual: Unredable directory names
