Public bug reported: Ubuntu has been carrying a patch for a while that enabled Ubuntu to change some of the newt color palette selections, on a distro-wide basis.
This patch was submitted upstream, however, upstream newt committed a completely different version of this patch. See: - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=689903 The upstream patch does indeed enable custom color palettes, but the format of the palette configuration is completely different. Since the new upstream code has been merged into Raring, the /etc/newt/palette.ubuntu configuration file needs to be updated to: root=,magenta checkbox=,magenta entry=,magenta label=magenta, actlistbox=,magenta helpline=,magenta roottext=,magenta emptyscale=magenta disabledentry=magenta, ** Affects: newt (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium Assignee: Dustin Kirkland (kirkland) Status: Fix Committed ** Affects: newt (Ubuntu Raring) Importance: Medium Assignee: Dustin Kirkland (kirkland) Status: Fix Committed ** Changed in: newt (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: newt (Ubuntu) Status: New => In Progress ** Changed in: newt (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Dustin Kirkland (kirkland) ** Also affects: newt (Ubuntu Raring) Importance: Medium Assignee: Dustin Kirkland (kirkland) Status: In Progress ** Changed in: newt (Ubuntu Raring) Milestone: None => ubuntu-13.04-beta-2 ** Changed in: newt (Ubuntu Raring) Status: In Progress => Fix Committed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1155441 Title: merge from upstream broke ubuntu colors To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/newt/+bug/1155441/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
