I'm not really asking how to use the form of: [Colors] base_color=normal=black,magenta:marked=red,black
Which in /root/.mc/ini: is enough to keep me from mistaking an mc session opened with "su -c mc" from a normal blue screen user session... The problem is the colors mc lists some of the different file-types as. I don't really mind the directories being listed with white text, though I'd like control over that. The real problem is the dark yellow that *.txt files show up in. (and I use the term 'show up' _VERY_ loosely...) With the above [Colors] section the *.txt filenames are almost completely unreadable. In order to read one I usually wind up either pointing at it with the {What do you call that file selection bar anyway?} or toggling marked with "*"... How does mc decide which color to display each file-type as??? -- | ~^~ ~^~ | <?> <?> Joe (theWordy) Philbrook | ^ J(tWdy)P | \___/ <<jtw...@ttlc.net>> _______________________________________________ mc mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc
