I'm playing with midnight commander's colour theme and can't change the background/foreground of the menu. I want to get rid of this ugly white/cyan combination:
Here's my ini (in a human-friendly form)
Code:
[Colors]
base_color=green,default:
normal=green,default
selected=black,green
marked=yellow,default
markselect=white,green
errors=white,red
reverse=black,lightgray
dnormal=white,default
dfocus=black,green
dhotnormal=brightgreen,default
dhotfocus=brightgreen,green
viewunderline=brightred,default
menu=black,green
menuhot=brown,black
menusel=green,black
menuhotsel=brown,black
helpnormal=black,lightgray
helpitalic=red,lightgray
helpbold=blue,lightgray
helplink=black,cyan
helpslink=yellow,default
gauge=white,black
input=black,green
directory=white,default
executable=brightgreen,default
link=brightcyan,default
stalelink=brightred,default
device=brightmagenta,default
core=red,default
special=black,default
editnormal=lightgray,default
editbold=yellow,default
editmarked=black,cyan
errdhotnormal=yellow,red
errdhotfocus=yellow,lightgray
The 'menu' option seems to be ignored. Whatever colour I put there, it doesn't change the default (white/cyan) colour arrangement.
I suspect it could be related to terminal colours as it looks different in urxvt (with urxvt predefined colours in .Xresources:
Code:
! Clickable URLs
URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,matcher
URxvt.urlLauncher: /usr/bin/firefox
URxvt.matcher.button: 1
urxvt*foreground: #c0c0c0
urxvt*background: #000000
urxvt*color0: #000000
!urxvt*color1: #ad7fa8
urxvt*color2: #4e9a06
urxvt*color3: #ffd00a
urxvt*color4: #004f9e
urxvt*color5: #ec0048
urxvt*color6: #2aa7e7
urxvt*color7: #f2f2f2
urxvt*color8: #1d202f
urxvt*color9: #ff361e
urxvt*color10: #ffc005
urxvt*color11: #93ff00
urxvt*color12: #729fcf
urxvt*color13: #ef0051
urxvt*color14: #4bb8fd
urxvt*color15: #a020f0
! urxvt*transparent: true
urxvt*shading: 10
urxvt*fading: 10
urxvt*font: 9x15
!urxvt*font: -*-terminus-medium-*-*-*-*-140-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1
urxvt*scrollBar: false
That's the entire content of .Xresources and I don't have .XDefaults.
I'm getting to really like mc (with all its shortcuts), just can't stand the cyan menu.
edit: I'm using sakura. Tried it with XFCE Terminal and Konsole. All the same.
EDIT 2: Nevermind, I ran mc --help-color, which gave me some more options available in the current version of mc.
Seems like 'menu' is not supported anymore
