I am trying to create my own color scheme for Midnight Commander, but
am having some trouble with the colors. When setting the background
color for "normal" (normal, dnormal, helpnormal, etc.), it seems to only
work when using the "regular" version of the color, not the bold or
bright variant. For example, I want to set the background of my dialogs
(dnormal) to gray (the "bold" version of black), but it uses black
instead. Likewise, if I use "white" (the bright variant), then it will
use "lightgray" instead (the regular terminal white).
Is this a bug in mc, or this intentional?
I am using Midnight Commander 4.6.2 built from FreeBSD ports. It's
currently built against ncurses, but if that is causing the problem, I
can use a different library instead.
Hi Josh. What OS are you running mc on?
Keith
I'm using FreeBSD.
OK.
On Fedora 8 and higher I have had problems with colors in mc
as well.
What fixed it for me was this:
# set the font to 16 colors for mc to work ok.
setfont lat1-16
You will need to restart mc for the setfont lat-16 command
to take effect.
To make the change permanent after a re-boot, fire up mc and
edit /etc/sysconfig/i18n file to the following value
SYSFONT="lat1-16"
