Hi, Alexander!
Thank you for taking time to make all those screenshots. I know that other
terminals have a darker "lightgray".
However, "lightgray" is also used as the foreground color for normal
files, in the editor and in the viewer. I prefer if it's quite bright.
I tested all 16 replacements for the "dialog hot" color, and here's my
impressions for rxvt.
black not nice, no hotkeys
blue somewhat hard to see hotkeys
green acceptable but inconsistent with other dialogs
cyan low contrast
red acceptable but slightly annoying
magenta very inconsistent with other dialogs
brown low contrast
lightgray cannot see anything :-)
gray not nice, hotkeys only seen if bold supported
brightblue too sloppy
brightgreen low contrast
brightcyan low contrast
brightred acceptable but slightly annoying
brightmagenta sloppy and inconsistent
yellow low contrast
white low contrast
Since nobody has supported me I'm not going to argue anymore, but you may
(or may not) think about the above results.
