Well, as an example, in slrn, I've got a lightgray statusbar with white text. Easier to read than you might think. In Mutt, I'm finding it impossible to achieve. 'brightwhite' creates *bold* white text, whereas 'white' creates grey text (the grey I see, is actually lightgray according to slrn). If I change the status bar to 'white' (ahem, cough, cough, lightgray), and the text to 'brightwhite', the status bar actually ends up *black*! Is Mutt trying to hold my hand here or something? If I want to use difficult colour combinations (and I don't think they are difficult), I'd like to make that decision/mistake myself. -- Lee J.
