I upgraded from 2.5 to 2.7 and the branch names went from a light
green to dark green, the names of the tags are hard to read now.

Is it possible to configure the branch name color in the tree view?

Which Operating System is this on? and which Git version.?


For the Git for Windows, the Mintty window colours can be adjusted. e.g. 
https://code.google.com/archive/p/mintty/wikis/Tips.wiki

Though I just changed my config setting for the awkward to read items (for 
me it was color.branch.upstream=green !)

I think Britton was talking about gitk, not about the console.

As it happens, this issue was already reported to the Git for Windows bug
tracker:

	https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/300

It would appear that the culprit is a change in Tcl/Tk, not in gitk. I
outlined a possible solution in that ticket but have no plans to implement
that solution myself.

Ciao,
Johannes
