Midnight Commander
supports skins, where custom colors can be defined. I have created my own skin with custom colors. However, I am unable to change the color for the internal viewer (mcview
). Whatever I define, my colors are being ignored and default colors are used instead.
snippet from my skin .ini
file is below:
[core]
_default_=lightgray;blue
selected=black;cyan
marked=yellow;blue
.....
.....
[viewer]
_default_=lightgray;black
viewbold=yellow;blue
viewunderline=brightred;blue
viewselected=yellow;cyan
.....
The _default_
parameter in the [viewer]
section is completely ignored. Whatever I put there, the displayed colors will be the ones defined in the '[core]' section (lightgray;blue). In other words, I am unable to override the default colors in mcview
.
Can somebody please advise, how I can define different colors for the internal viewer?
_default_
first,grep -C 3 _default_ /usr/share/mc/skins/*.ini | egrep -A 2 "viewer|core"
implies none of the stock skins try to setviewer
differently thancore
