Thanks Thomas.

In the default 'helmholtz' theme, the separate foreground and
background colour settings are used for blue, red, magenta and grey
(aka "BoldBlack"), with the background variants darker than the
foreground ones. Foreground blue is significantly brighter again than
before, to help readability on a black background. It's still not as
bright as the other colours, because it's also often used on bright
backgrounds, but I think it now looks ok in syntax highlighting
schemes that use it.

The 'kohlrausch' theme is repurposed as a black-on-white version of
'helmholtz', with the foreground colour variants darker than the
background ones. It's probably best used with the "show bold as font"
mode. Note that as the theme contains settings for the default
foreground and background colours, those can't then be changed in the
options dialog. To be able to change them anyway, copy the colour
settings from /usr/share/mintty/themes/kohlrausch into ~/.minttyrc and
remove the ThemeFile setting.

Andy
