What do you mean by "reverse video?" Having come from the old days, blak on white is reverse for me. ymmv. As mutt colors are somewhat controlled by s-lang, you can also fiddle with the environment variable COLORFGBG (as in: export COLORFGBG='lightgray\;black' (or whatever you prefer) in your ~/.bash_profile. Assuming mutt starts up in the same way as an xterm starts up, you likely need to tweak your Xresources for Xterm, however be advised that any menu command that explicitly sets foreground and background colors will override resource settings. Here's a few you can play with: *Rxvt*background: black *Rxvt*cursorColor: green Rxvt.font: fixed *Rxvt*foreground: wheat Rxvt.geometry: 97x43 *Rxvt*loginShell: true *Rxvt*saveLines: 2000 Rxvt.scrollBar_right: false *Rxvt*scrollBar: true *Rxvt*visualBell: true Rxvt.geometry: 97x43 XTerm*geometry: 97x43 xterm*background: black XTerm*font: fixed xterm*SaveLines: 2000 xterm*VisualBell: true XTerm*VT100*background: black XTerm*VT100*cursorColor: green XTerm*VT100*font: fixed XTerm*VT100*foreground: wheat XTerm*VT100*loginShell: true XTerm*VT100*visualBell: true When you change them, do an "xrdb -merge .Xdefaults" then run rxvt/xterm. Some applications are case sensitive wrt resources, though I'm not sure that applies to rxvt & xterm. -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
