hi there, sysinstall is probably one of those ancient relics everybody tries to avoid dealing with from a developers point of view but i just found this beautiful screenie of a (probably) ncurse-based installer: http://www.phoronix.net/image.php?id=yoper_2009_beta&image=yoper_dresden_7_lrg i was surprised how much better it looks with those nice colours compared to sysinstall. is there any way the sysinstall colours could be adjusted (without a lot of work) to also feature such beautiful colours? i had a quick look at the sysinstall, libdialog and ncurses sources and to me it seems that to change sysinstall's colours the hardcoded values of COLOR_BLACK COLOR_RED COLOR_GREEN COLOR_YELLOW COLOR_BLUE COLOR_MAGENTA COLOR_CYAN COLOR_WHITE have to be changed in contrib/ncurses/ncurses/base/lib_color.c or is there an easier way? because this would of course affect all apps that are linked to ncurses. cheers. alex
