With the above patch you are forcing newt to use color mode even on monochrome terminals. That's exactly the bug that was fixed in the latest newt. Slang sets SLtt_Use_Ansi_Colors to 1, but only if the terminal supports colors (in terminfo database). It's possible to force color mode with slang's variable COLORTERM. |
The monochrome terminal change in libnewt forces color terminals to monochrome anyway. The following patch to newt.c sets SLtt_Use_Ansi_Colors to 1 if NEWT_MONO does not exist. --- newt-0.52.5/newt.c.color 2007-01-31 06:14:16.000000000 -0500 +++ newt-0.52.5/newt.c 2007-02-16 13:55:21.000000000 -0500 @@ -296,6 +296,8 @@ MonoValue = getenv(MonoEnv); if ( MonoValue != NULL ) SLtt_Use_Ansi_Colors = 0; + else if ( MonoValue == NULL ) + SLtt_Use_Ansi_Colors = 1; if ((ret = SLsmg_init_smg()) < 0) return ret; My understanding is that if you want to use newt in monochrome mode, you'll need to set the NEWT_MONO environment variable. If it doesn't exist, we get color. Thanks.
