How can I set the colors of terminfo's standout (smso, so) mode? I have a terminfo application (tin, the newsreader) which, as far as I can tell, uses standout mode to highlight things.
I first used this on the old Cygwin B20 release and that gave white text on a black background (normal text is black on white), i.e. 'inverse-video' and a good contrast, i.e. easy to read. I now rebuilt (configure,/make, compile, link, etc.) the application on Cygwin 1.5.9. That new version displays standout mode as light-grey text on a dark-grey background, i.e. little contrast and very hard to read. Basically I want the old behaviour (white-on-black) on Cygwin 1.5.9, but have no idea how/where that can be set. Some more information: The application is started from a "Command Prompt" 'DOS' window, i.e. not from a (bash) shell. However when I do a "tput smso" in that window and then "echo text", I see the same behaviour (light-grey on dark-grey), so I think it is a terminfo/ terminal issue, not a shell issue. The TERM variable is set to "cygwin". Thanks in advance for any and all responses. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
