           Summary: set TERM to support 256 colors
           Product: konsole
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: xenoterracide at gmail.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.3.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Unlisted Binary Package

some apps like vim can actually use 256 colors on the cli however many
terminals don't support this and as such it is not the default. some themes in
vim will use 256 color's if TERM=xterm-256color. by default in konsole you only
get 8 colors if it was set to xterm-256color you'd get 256 colors where
applicable. Most users aren't aware this is possible.

there may be a good reason to have this set to xterm that I'm not aware of.
