Because it runs in a terminal emulator, lynx does not have direct control over colours; the most it can do is request that the terminal emulator do something and hope the terminal emulator listens. This is relevant here mostly in that it means that, if you have trouble getting lynx to do what you want, a possible alternative approach is to configure your terminal emulator to display whatever lynx is sending however you want. (I don't know st, so I don't know how configurable it is in those respects. On a real terminal, you usually don't have this luxury, but real terminals are pretty thin on the ground these days; most of them, even when they were common, amount(ed) to a dedicated machine running a terminal "emulator" anyway.) It sounds, downthread, as though you've got lynx doing what you want now, so this is mostly something for you to file away for the next time you are fighting with something running in a terminal emulator over colours - or, perhaps, for someone else having trouble with lynx and colours. /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML [email protected] / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B _______________________________________________ Lynx-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lynx-dev
