I didn't see anything that I could use in ncurses: Unlike "screen", which provides a way to relate the inner/outer terminal descriptions (such as having "screen.xterm-new", to relate to "xterm-new"), "tmux" doesn't appear to have a comparable approach which would put the information in the terminal database, and let "tmux" automatically select the proper customized terminal description. To date, all of the discussion in this area seems to have been from the people who insist on setting TERM to xterm, xterm-256color, etc., so none of this has been productive. One way to address this would be to get the tmux developers to make a proposal of how they'll fit this feature into the existing system. But I've only seen recommendations that individuals tweak their ".tmuxrc". By the way, the feature being discussed is "direct color", not "true color". -- Thomas E.
