Details:
I'm using 256 colors capable terminal (TERM=konsole-256color; kde konsole
terminal). When I start screen it doesn't automaticly turn on 256 color
support which is IMO very bad.
I have to add:
# terminfo and termcap for nice 256 color terminal
# allow bold colors - necessary for some reason
attrcolor b ".I"
# tell screen how to set colors. AB = background, AF=foreground
termcapinfo xterm 'Co#256:AB=\E[48;5;%dm:AF=\E[38;5;%dm'
# erase background with current bg color
defbce "on"
to my .screenrc to get it working somehow. It's unfortunately still not enough
since screen sets TERM=screen-bce while it should set
TERM=screen-256color-bce.
When looking for a solution I found few bugreports in distros bugtrackers
about the same issue but no real (aka patch implementing autodetection)
solution.
