Yes, Jeremy, I realize that, and it's in place. I have (I use tcsh):
setenv COLORFGBG "brightyellow;blue"
The problem is, that strictly affects the top menu bar. The way I read the
original post, he seemed to want the entire screen white. COLORFGBG does
not accomplish that task, even if I remove "color normal white black"...the
body of my email is still white on black.
So far as I can tell, it strictly applies to the top menu bar, which is why
I didn't list that as a solution. I was simply saying I couldn't vouch for
"default"'s behaviour, since it isn't recognized if you link with SLang.
If the COLORFGBG can do more than what it is, I'd like to know how. :)
