If I understand the original post correctly, the issue is not that FLTK doesn't pick up the right colors, but that the default highlight colors are too bright when used on dark backgrounds. That might mean we need to tweak the color ramp to properly highlight things (rather than making a change to the shading characters...) ________________________________________ Michael Sweet, Easy Software Products _______________________________________________ fltk-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk-dev
