Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Florian Weimer 2015-09-17 12:06:45 UTC 
The GNOME rebase in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.2 changes the default color scheme from black-on-white to white-on-dark-grey.  Previous versions (back to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 at least) used the black-on-white scheme, which means that customers will be accustomed to it, and legacy terminal applications will use colors which match it.  The new color scheme could well make such applications unusable.
Comment 1 Debarshi Ray 2015-09-17 17:40:05 UTC 
Yes, I agree. This is something best done in RHEL 8, in my opinion, not in a RHEL 7 point release.
Comment 2 Matthias Clasen 2015-09-18 15:48:28 UTC 
I think we should fix this for 7.2
Comment 8 Michael Boisvert 2015-10-01 13:50:58 UTC 
100% Correct, the lesson here is not to trust an older monitor. gnome-terminal-3.14.3-2 does indeed have a white background.

Switching to verified.
