Hi, So, I like to have my email window to have a light theme and everything else to have a dark theme (to distinguish things easily and sort of intuitively).
I consider myself a short-time mutt user, having been using it for a bit under five years I am not sure I know or use many of the features that are possible using mutt. Anyway, I usually use mutt with `xterm -e mutt` but now I have been wanting to use a light theme. Such as the light solarized theme as available here: https://github.com/altercation/mutt-colors-solarized/blob/master/mutt-colors-solarized-light-256.muttrc However, I get a dark background in my mutt window. Is this because my xterm is set to have black background. I tried using `xterm -bg "#ffffff" -fg '#000000' -e mutt`` and that does help some, however, I am not sure if there is a better preferred way. Some information: my mutt is the Fedora distribution packaged version, composed using ncurses. I guess (though this is really my guess and nothing more) that the dark background is happening because of the use of default in the theme(?). If that is the case, I was wondering if there is a way to set the default theme to something without changing the terminal. I looked at http://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/#color but I could not tell how to set up the default. There is the following: set COLORFGBG="green;black" export COLORFGBG but where is this set? Inside the theme, or outside the source? Sorry I am not very clear what to do with this, or even if it will help! Many thanks for any suggestions, and best wishes, Ranjan
