Hi, First off, there is no problem or patch here, but I want to make the following findable in the ports@ archive for anyone not understanding why not all 256 colours are shown in rxvt-unicode--everything.
Even though 256 colours are always reported, only 88 colours are presented when using rxvt-unicode--everything. The solution was installing the non-flavoured rxvt-unicode port. The 'everything' flavour has --enable-everything, which enables most non-multichoice options. The configure option --enable-256-color is one of the exceptions. I was surprised by this, but memory use and compatibility are reasons for it. In the port that option is enabled for the vanilla flavour only. It is extremely useful that the option is enabled for at least one flavour, because one will quickly find out what's going on by looking at the port's Makefile. One could debate if such exception options should be included in the default (or any) flavour, but I think this has been thought through already. The port is okay with me as it is. This was just FYI. You can use this to test colours (after fixing the shebang): https://gist.githubusercontent.com/HaleTom/89ffe32783f89f403bba96bd7bcd1263/raw/e50a28ec54188d2413518788de6c6367ffcea4f7/print256colours.sh To Stuart, thank you for maintaining this port. Marco
