Description of problem: When opening mc in rxvt-unicode (256 colors version, urxvt256c) the are no bold fonts used for directory names. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 4.8.0-2.fc16 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. open urxvt256c 2. run mc Actual results: No bold font for directories Expected results: Bold fonts for directories Additional info: This is most likely related to this old issue: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=474108
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.
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".
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.
