Text colour too dark by default

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I have noticed that by default the text colour in terminal window is by default 
darker than the one in putty. Its dark to the point that it makes blue text 
very hard to read. I have included a picture of the difference between putty 
and qutty colours. The interesting thing is that Qutty's colour gets fixed if 
the option "Use system colours" gets checked. With that option enabled the 
colours are the same. The thing is though it doesn't get saved after restarting 
the application. I have also noticed using "system colour" has different 
effects in qutty and putty with putty making a terminal window white.

I know i can change colours myself but i like the default ones. Speaking of 
changing colours, i have noticed another bug. When trying to change the colours 
by inserting the RGB values, it doesn't have any effect on the colours. The 
only way to get any effect is by clicking the button modify and chosing a 
colour from the mixer.

Thanks
Will fix following issues.
1. 'Default Settings' colours similar to putty.
2. Support 'use system colours' option similar to putty.
3. Fix changing colours by setting the RGB values in textbox.

Not able to reproduce issue (1).
To me default colours are similar to putty & 'use system colours' has no effect.
Will try with more options & update.

hi Dragan

Can you post the XML section of the session(which creates the issue (1)) from 
%USERDIR%/qutty.xml

<config version="1.0">
    <dataelement datatype="char" dataname="config_name" datavalue="DUMMY session-name"/>
    <dataelement datatype="char" dataname="host" datavalue="DUMMY"/>
    <dataelement datatype="int" dataname="port" datavalue="22"/>
    <dataelement datatype="char" dataname="username" datavalue="DUMMY"/>
    ...
</config>

Fixes for some of the other bugs are worked on & I expect 0.8-beta release this 
sunday/monday.
If you could provide your session info, and if it is reproducible, we shall fix 
that as well.

Thanks
Rajendran
