Bug Description

Binary package hint: gedit

I am red-green color blind (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_blindness#Red-green_color_blindness), and I have difficulty seeing seperate colors for the syntax highlighting in gedit for LaTeX documents.

I usually have no problems to distinguish red and green; Only in certain combinations it's difficult or impossible, while in some it's working.

I suggest to change the colors to a brighter green and red so they can more easily be distinguished.

comment from upstream:

"The default color scheme tries to be 100% the same of gvim default colors. I
guess you can switch to another color scheme from the preference dialog
