hi there,
sysinstall is probably one of those ancient relics everybody tries to avoid
dealing with from a developers point of view but i just found this beautiful
screenie of a (probably) ncurse-based installer:

i was surprised how much better it looks with those nice colours compared to
sysinstall.
is there any way the sysinstall colours could be adjusted (without a lot of
work) to also feature such beautiful colours? i had a quick look at the
sysinstall, libdialog and ncurses sources and to me it seems that to change
sysinstall's colours the hardcoded values of
COLOR_BLACK
COLOR_RED
COLOR_GREEN
COLOR_YELLOW
COLOR_BLUE
COLOR_MAGENTA
COLOR_CYAN
COLOR_WHITE
have to be changed in contrib/ncurses/ncurses/base/lib_color.c or is there an
easier way? because this would of course affect all apps that are linked to
ncurses.
cheers.
alex
sysinstall looks like this too when it is ran in a gnome terminal or some
other terminal that is ran in a X environment.
