This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
For motivation for this report, please, read issue #214494. The problem is that in PHP, we run an external task which supports colored output. But this task is ready for "black" terminal only so it uses white color for some of its output (and we cannot change or configure it since there is no such possibility). Of course, white text is not visible on white background... Would it make sense to change color of text to black if the color is white? Or, more generally, to revert text color if it is the same as the color of a background? Thanks.
http://hg.netbeans.org/core-main/rev/b777008eeb76 Added support for ANSI background colors. Please consider this support experimental. If some serious problems appear, it might be reverted. > Would it make sense to change color of text to black if the color is white?

Please check whether the output is correctly colored now (issue #214494). Thank you.
Integrated into 'main-golden', will be available in build *201207280002* on http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/ (upload may still be in progress) Changeset: http://hg.netbeans.org/main-golden/rev/b777008eeb76 User: Jaroslav Havlin <jhavlin@netbeans.org> Log: #214546: Support for ANSI background colors
