Thank you. One thing that's interesting about this "default color" is that you can use it to create a color scheme that'll work on either a black or a white background. For example:
RESET-SEQUENCE 1b 5b 30 3b 33 39 3b 34 39 6d CIN-SEQUENCE 1b 5b 30 3b 33 30 3b 34 36 6d // black on cyan COUT-SEQUENCE 1b 5b 30 3b 33 39 3b 34 39 6d // default-fg on default-bg CERR-SEQUENCE 1b 5b 30 3b 33 35 3b 34 39 6d // magenta on default-bg UERR-SEQUENCE 1b 5b 30 3b 33 31 3b 34 39 6d // red on default-bg On Tue, Dec 2, 2014 at 4:21 AM, Juergen Sauermann < juergen.sauerm...@t-online.de> wrote: > Hi David, > > thanks, fixed in SVN 515. > > /// Jürgen > > > On 12/02/2014 05:30 AM, David Lamkins wrote: > > I believe that some of the example ANSI escape sequences encoded in > gnu-apl.d/preferences are partially incorrect. > > In particular, any sequence containing > ESC [ ... 38 ... m > or > ESC [ ... 48 ... m > is not valid as written in gnu-apl.d/preferences . > > Referring to http://invisible-island.net/xterm/ctlseqs/ctlseqs.html, we > see that > the 38 and 48 are prefixes for foreground and background RGB colors (as > used correctly in src/Output.cc). > > It seems that xterm manages to keep going despite the incorrect sequence. > > I suggest replacing the 38 and 48 sequences (hex 33 38 and 34 38) with 39 > and 49 (hex 33 39 and 43 49).
