Since 4.8.0 mc have full support of 256 colour terminals, also colour support was reimplemented (for correct usage SLTT_BOLD_MASK too).

Can you try use 256-color skin, such as sand256 or xoria256?
just run mc as:

TERM=xterm-256color mc -S sand256

or

TERM=xterm-256color mc -S xoria256

Also, provide, please, your TERM variable when you have started urxvt256c terminal emulator.

Comment 2 Marcin Kulik 2011-12-20 21:42:23 UTC

I have run TERM=xterm-256color mc -S xoria256 and it correctly displays bold fonts for directories.

My TERM variable set by urxvt256c is "rxvt-unicode-256color".

Comment 3 Slava Zanko 2011-12-22 20:02:19 UTC

Okay, you may do the next steps:

$ mkdir -p ~/.local/share/mc/skins
$ cp /usr/share/mc/skins/default.ini ~/.local/share/mc/skins
$ mcedit ~/.local/share/mc/skins/default.ini

search [filehighlight] section and replace string

directory=white;

by

directory=white;;bold

I hope, this will be helpfull tip for you.

Thanks, it works.

For now I have following alias in my .zshrc:

    mc='TERM=xterm /usr/bin/mc'

That does the job without a need for modified skin file.

Ok, closing this bug as this seems to be resolved.
