Thanks for your reply!
Unluckily the --no-shadow option doesn't solve the problem as my
foreground is black.
But, if I delete the .dialogrc file the whole screen foreground is
blue. In this case I can see that the --no-shadow eliminates the right
end corner (black) shadow but not the problem described above.
Afaic understand, in the dialog structure the border lines are written
as 'black on white fg' which does not go well on my black background.
Perhaps I should modify some of the dialog sources files but I don't
know how and which one to adjust...
Regards,
Ennio
PS: If necessary I could send a copy of the script I'm testing with an
abridged .dialogrc. But where to send it? As an attachement or within a
massage (with '<< EOF - EOF')?
