Selenized settings for dircolors (ls etc.)

ls command can color listed files according to their type; these coloring rules are loaded from dircolors database. Most of this coloring works well with Selenized palette, but there is one exception: directories with permissions set to 777 are by default displayed in blue text on green background, which is not very readable (as green and blue have almost the same lightness in Selenized).

I recommend overriding the coloring of 777 directories to reversed bold blue. You can do this by appending to LS_COLORS env variable, like this:

# fix dircolors for Selenized
export LS_COLORS="$LS_COLORS:ow=1;7;34:st=30;44:su=30;41"

To make this change permanent, simply add this line to your .bashrc (or similar file).

In the future I may create a fully customized dircolors configuration, tailored specifically to selenized.
