Hi Matthew and Jim. Thanks for sharing your screenshots and thoughts! Are either of you customizing the colors through the respective terminal settings (Konsole)/Xresources (Rxvt) or through LOGCFG.DAT?
I don't want to break existing setups if at all possible. Tom made mention that TLFCOLORn only works if the TERM variable is not set, or is it only if it is "linux"? As I see it, the user should be able to set TLFCOLORn regardless of the setting of TERM. The manual page is rather light on details for this setting. At the least I should probably document the default colors available from ncurses. One of my thoughts was to encourage users, especially newcomers to Xterm/Rxvt, to start from the common VGA palette so a reasonable color scheme is the starting point. Still the ability for advanced users to customize the scheme must be preserved. Ideally, it would be possible for the user to manage all the color scheme through Tlf regardless of the setting of TERM or the terminal color palette. It remains to be seen if this ideal can be reached. Thanks for the food for thought. 73, Nate -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds.
