This isn't a bug, because everything works, but the white highlighting is SUPER annoying to the point where I've masked this version locally. So... feature request: no highlighting, thanks. :)

All colors can be cutomized. If you tell me more exactly which output is disturbing you, I can tell you how to change that.
(It would also be necessary to know whether you have a 256 color terminal and/or a black background; e.g. what is your $TERM and possibly $COLORFGBG).

I hope you know that while I do find that default white highlighting annoying, I was otherwise trying to be humorous. :)

Well, I use rxvt-unicode, set to either black background or transparent, with 256 colors. eix-0.27.4 shows up in my terminal with all output having a white background. Previous versions don't do that.

Is that enough to go on?

I use DARK=true in /etc/eixrc which seems to be the most basic way of changing that.

There are two issues involved here:
  • eix heuristics (falsely) gives that your background is white.
  • In case the heurstic is false, it forces a white background to give at least a readable result, since the colors used would be unreadable on e.g. a black background
Since rxvt-unicode sets COLORFGBG, the eix heuristiccs should actually detect that your background is black. However, recently I learnt that there are some modes in rxvt-unicode in which COLORFGBG does not have the content "foreground;background" but also a third string which is not handled by the default heuristics. Currently, as a workaround, you can "fix" this part of the heuristics by setting (e.g. in /etc/eixrc):
Code:
COLORFGBF_DARK=';0?[02-689]$ ;1[0-46]$ ;[a-km-vxz][a-z]*$'
(use the correct quotation marks!) which will be the default value in the next eix release.

In case that you have transparent terminal, it is better to force DARK=true or DARK=false, depending on the color of your "true" background (for which the heuristics does not work at all, of course).

The second issue is to avoid forcing the assumed background color: For white background, this is avoided by setting BG3=none, for black background by setting BG1=none. Both is not the default, because with this setting the result can be unreadable if the background color guess is wrong.

Thanks for the explanation, mv. Turns out DARK=true fixes it in my case. :)
