brighter dir colors?

Chris ....

   I'm using KDE under Debian Sarge, but I think the result
   should probably be the same under Kubuntu ....

   In  Konsole  I also use a  black  background
   and a  white  foreground ....

   To get bold colors for the  dircolors  in Konsole
   I changed the Ansi codes in the LS_COLORS
   environment variable ....

       from .... xx=00;nn

       to ...... xx=01;nn

   where  ...... 00 indicates normal text
                 01 indicates bold   text
                 nn indicates the color number

   Then I stuck the following lines into the  .bashrc  file
   in my  home  dir ....

# --------------------------------------------------------------

export LS_OPTIONS='-h --color=auto'

# eval `dircolors`

LS_COLORS='no=00:fi=00:di=01;36:ln=01;36:pi=40;33:so=01;35
:do=01;35:bd=40;33;01:cd=40;33;01:or=40;31;01:ex=01;32
:*.tar=01;31:*.tgz=01;31:*.arj=01;31:*.taz=01;31:*.lzh=01;31
:*.zip=01;31:*.z=01;31:*.Z=01;31:*.gz=01;31:*.bz2=01;31

:*.png=01;35:*.mov=01;35:*.mpg=01;35:*.mpeg=01;35:*.avi=01;35

:*.ogg=01;35:*.mp3=01;35:*.wav=01;35:';
export LS_COLORS

# ----------------------------------------------------------------

   Notes ....

     o The evaluation of  dircolors  is commented out

     o LS_COLORS should be all on one  L O N G  line
       with no linefeeds, but I added the linefeeds here to try
       and make it fit int news readers without any wrapping
       problems ....
