My vile configs:
https://pastebin.com/JwMtaXsn
My ~/.Xdefaults includes:
XVile*foreground: black
XVile*background: grey85
which works as intended in xvile: Black lettering on a light
background.
I used to have this set properly but lost track of the setting.
Attempting to set it in vile using fcolor & bcolor is not working.
e.g., in vile if I ":set fcolor black" or blue, red, green, they all
work: The foreground color changes. If I :set bcolor white" I
can set the screen annoyingly dark (vs. bright white).
Catch: ";set bcolor grey85" (or "gray85") gives me nada, it won't
take the argument. Similarly #f0f0f0 doesn't give me anything.
"strings /opt/bin/vile" shows me:
black
brightblue
brightcyan
brightgreen
brightmagenta
brightred
brown
lightgray
yellow
but ":set bcolor lightgray" isn't accepted and checking strings
for "white" just gives me all the hardwired help messasges for
whitespace.
Q: What is the correct syntax for setting the background color
in vile (not xvile, which works properly using Xdefaults and
X11 color names) to the equivalent of grey85?
Q: Where is a list of the valid colors usable in vile
Thanks
