This escape sequence comes from xterm and derivatives and allows terminal to change cursor color.
In xterm it supported only #RRGGBB color format, but starting with rxvt it allows to change the color using indexes from the color table. We support only color indexes. Use: echo -ne "\033]12;$COLOR_INDEX\007" Where $COLOR_INDEX is index of color in colorname[] --- st.c | 14 ++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 14 insertions(+) diff --git a/st.c b/st.c index 8d4a9f2..1e9b92e 100644 --- a/st.c +++ b/st.c @@ -1897,6 +1897,20 @@ strhandle(void) redraw(); } return; + case 12: + if (narg == 2) + { + int j = atoi(strescseq.args[1]); + + if (j >= 0 && j < sizeof(colorname)) + { + defaultcs = j; + redraw(); + return; + } + } + fprintf(stderr, "erresc: invalid OSC 12 use"); + return; } break; case 'k': /* old title set compatibility */ -- 2.13.0
