Please just add the ability to change colors. Or change the "dark blue on black" to just about anything else, like light blue on black, or dark blue on grey.

If I SSH into another host, the color for directory is dark blue on black. Whoever chose this is a masochist. The default should be something more sensible than dark blue on black - ANYTHING - and the ability to change the color is necessary.

Steps to reproduce: ssh pi@[any host]
$ ls /

You will see that the directory names are unreadable - dark blue on black.

People are asking for mouse and network and all kinds of things. Nonsense. Just allow me to ssh into another host and do an LS and read the output. SSH is the one feature I use most. And please don't tell me to use a windows ssh client like putty. The point of WSL is to give me the workflow I'm used to - and I just ssh around to hosts.

To ask me to change the colors on every host I log into is non-sense.
