It is a while since I worked with ncurses;
but here is a small extract of code I have used
following window creation which sets the attributes
and the overall background:
wattrset(curwin,CYAN_ON_BLACK);
wbkgd(curwin,(CYAN_ON_BLACK)|0x20);
clearok(curwin,1);
wclear(curwin); =20
CYAN_ON_BLACK is defined somewhere as a color pair plus attribute
Hope this helps
Malcolm
