Description of problem:
Dark blue character background (the mutt status line, for example)
shows up as light blue with xterm-191-1. Happens with foreground
colors, too.

Other colors seem unaffected, but I did not search the entire color space.

xterm-191-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start up mutt (with default colors) in an xterm window
2.
3.
    

Actual Results:  Light blue status bar

Expected Results:  Dark blue status bar

Actually that's Dodger Blue, not light blue.
(See related Debian bug reports).  I'll probably
change it to an in-between value in a future patch.

(For anyone who's actually inconvenienced by it,
the manpage lists resource names and default values).

Comment 3 Mike A. Harris 2004-07-05 21:19:58 UTC
Thomas:  So far, most feedback for this change that I've seen from
users is positive.  Most people seem to prefer the lighter shade
of blue, however some do believe it is a bit too light, so I think
your solution of using an in-between shade might be best.  Since
there are users who likely prefer it one way or another, it is
pretty much impossible to get a default that everyone will like 100%,
so I would tend to agree with your proposal to choose the in-between
shade.

I'll leave ours as is and update to xterm-192 when it's avail, then
update this report for testing.

Thanks

ok.  It is a concern that a (supposedly) simple change has been
on my list for a couple of months, so I'll probably close this
one in #192 (this week).

Comment 5 Thomas E. Dickey 2004-07-14 00:26:09 UTC
I committed patch #192 last night, so the next time you update
your package this should be closed.

Comment 6 Mike A. Harris 2004-07-14 01:14:24 UTC
Updating to 192... going to leave this open for now until I update
our patch to remove our customization override.

Thanks.

Comment 7 Ralf Ertzinger 2004-07-28 11:02:27 UTC
Back to normal in xterm-192-1

Comment 8 Thomas E. Dickey 2004-07-28 11:44:10 UTC
no.  It is still changed (a compromise).
