#243: The ipython -colors LightBG option has no effect in backtrace output

     Type:  defect    |      Status:  new             
 Priority:  normal    |   Milestone:                  
Component:  chainsaw  |     Version:                  
 Severity:  normal    |    Keywords:  backtrace colors
----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
 When an exception occurs in ipython, the "Linux" color scheme is used in
 the backtrace output despite ipython has been started with the -colors
 LightBG option, making the backtrace unreadable on white background.

 The problem seems to be caused by "Linux" being the default color scheme
 in the initialisation of the formattedTB class in ultraTB.py.

 I am using IPython version 0.8.3.svn.r3001
