termcap and xterm with xterm-color bad results
Hello misc@, I have this very strange behaviour in xterm with the TERM var set to xterm-color and using a colored application, for example mutt and irssi. Let me put mutt as example, mails below the indicator are white, while those above are gray. irssi just has random pieces white. It's even worse on a white terminal. If I set the TERM to 'screen' there is no problem, unless i'm using the screen application and started it in an xterm which has xterm-color as TERM set. To reproduce: xterm -fg gray60 -bg black (and a normal xterm too) TERM=xterm-color; export TERM And start mutt in it with at least this .muttrc: color normal default default color status white blue color indicator cyan blue Maybe I shouldn't be using xterm-color at all for these colors to work? I could set it to TERM screen permanent, but I'm quite sure it will then again break on other machines and/or applications. Correct me if I'm wrong, I have very little understanding of the termcap file and how therse terminal capabilities are handled. Kind regards, Jimmy Scott -- People usually get what's coming to them ... unless it's been mailed. [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type application/pgp-signature]
