Sorry, i read all the docs dozen of times, but i just didn't get it (too thick;). For some reason i thought FORE,BACK only applied to the normal option, and all the other options only permitted FORE. I actually tried mc -C normal=yellow,green days ago. I know the instructions are obvious now, but it would have helped much if someone would have just said try mc -C directory=yellow,green in my questions about background colors. I couldn't live without mc. That said, why doesn't setting XTerm*color0-15 in ~/.Xresources have any effect on mc in an xterm? Doing mc -C directory=yellow,blue still gives a yuck light blue background. mc -C directory=#b21818,#b26818 doesn't have an effect in an xterm either. Does anyone here actually get the same colors in an xterm as on a normal 'linux' console? _______________________________________________ Mc mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc
