It's not widget color settings. It's color0-color15. I thought you would find it. Following settings make colors in xterm similar to those on the Linux console: XTerm*color0: #000000 XTerm*color1: #b21818 XTerm*color2: #18b218 XTerm*color3: #b26818 XTerm*color4: #1818b2 XTerm*color5: #b218b2 XTerm*color6: #18b2b2 XTerm*color7: #b2b2b2 XTerm*color8: #686868 XTerm*color9: #FF5454 XTerm*color10: #54FF54 XTerm*color11: #FFFF54 XTerm*color12: #5454FF XTerm*color13: #FF54FF XTerm*color14: #54FFFF XTerm*color15: #FFFFFF > I'm understanding the colour settings better now.

(eg, to the background colour) "directory" Next time please read the output of "mc --help-colors" more carefully. Note that some settings are undocumented for historic reasons, for example the editor colors, but you can find those settings in src/text.c. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin _______________________________________________ Mc mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc
