If the colors work in console mode and not in an xterm, it is your TERM environment setting. If this is the case, try setting TERM to xterm-color or try using rxvt instead of xterm. If you have no colors in console, there is something else wrong, likely with the .muttrc syntax. * David Leimbach <dleimbac@earthlink.net> [010606 13:30]: > Has anyone ever gotten these to work correctly? > > I have the latest mutt port installed and I see that it is linked against > ncurses and libslang: > > /usr/local/bin/mutt: > libslang.so => /usr/local/lib/libslang.so (0x280c7000) > libm.so.2 => /usr/lib/libm.so.2 (0x28129000) > libncurses.so.5 => /usr/lib/libncurses.so.5 (0x28144000) > libintl.so.1 => /usr/local/lib/libintl.so.1 (0x28186000) > libxpg4.so.3 => /usr/lib/libxpg4.so.3 (0x2818b000) > libc.so.4 => /usr/lib/libc.so.4 (0x2818d000) > > > I can only successfully set the colors involved with the default variable: > COLORFGBG > > The colors set in that variable work at the text-console but not in xterms. > This does however work in xterms on Debian. > > Also... none of the color options I set in .muttrc seem to do anything at all. > > Any ideas? :) > > Dave > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message -- __ ___ __ / //_(_)__ _http://www.kingsqueak.org _/ /__ / ,< / / _ \/ _ `(_-</ _ `/ // / -_) _ `/ '_/ /_/|_/_/_//_/\_, /___/\_, /\_,_/\__/\_,_/_/\_\ /___/ /_/GPG KEY finger @daemon.kingsqueak.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
