Package: xterm Version: 261-1 Severity: minor
When specifying colours not supported by the hardware, xterm does not choose the nearest hardware colour. For example: xterm -bg '#9c009c009c00' On a standard 24 bit colour server, the nearest colour is #9b9b9b9b9b9b, but xterm chooses #9c9c9c9c9c9c. Likewise, for e.g. -bg '#ff00ff00ff00', xterm chooses #fffffffffff, which is much farther then the nearest colour supported by the display (#fefefefefefe) - xterm's chosen colour has a difference of 255 units per component to the requested colour, while the nearest colour the display supports only has a difference of only 2 units, which is a considerable difference). -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.3 APT prefers stable APT policy: (990, 'stable'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.0.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages xterm depends on: hi libc6 2.11.2-10 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libfontconfig1 2.8.0-2.1 generic font configuration library ii libice6 2:1.0.6-2 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libncurses5 5.7+20100313-5 shared libraries for terminal hand ii libutempter0 1.1.5-3 A privileged helper for utmp/wtmp ii libx11-6 2:1.3.3-4 X11 client-side library ii libxaw7 2:1.0.7-1 X11 Athena Widget library ii libxft2 2.1.14-2 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxmu6 2:1.0.5-2 X11 miscellaneous utility library ii libxt6 1:1.0.7-1 X11 toolkit intrinsics library ii xbitmaps 1.1.0-1 Base X bitmaps Versions of packages xterm recommends: ii x11-utils 7.5+4 X11 utilities ii xutils 1:7.5+8 X Window System utility programs m Versions of packages xterm suggests: ii xfonts-cyrillic 1:1.0.1 Cyrillic fonts for X -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-x-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
