That's the expected result for "mc -C yellow,green" > I just tried: mc -C yellow,green today and it worked on a normal > console and in an xterm. Don't know why it didn't before. It doesn't work for me (CVS version of mc). I mean, it has no effect. Unfortunately, there is no error message about invalid command line. > > xterm uses its own colors.

Sometime it also helps to read the parts of the message you are quoting.

If you mean "quick view", it is affected by the "normal" attribute. I used "mc -C normal=yellow,green" and took this screenshot: http://www.red-bean.com/~proski/quickview.png -- Regards, Pavel Roskin _______________________________________________ Mc mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc
