When I investigated such an approach (for Screen instead of tmux), I rejected it because one can create a screen on an eight-bit terminal (e.g. xterm -e screen) but then attach to the same session from a three-bit terminal (e.g. openvt -- screen -xR). Since there's no reliable way to update what TERM an already-running child app sees when changing terminal emulators (indeed, in the example above the app is visible in BOTH terminals concurrently) I took the view that it was safest to give up on 256-colour support entirely. That, and it's MUCH easier to set a coherent 16-colour palette in xterm/fbcon than to try to set a coherent set of 512 or so Emacs faces, with or without color-theme.el -- to say nothing of all the other colour apps I run. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
