Re: Making the "Panel" Background White?

Hi, Randy!

I think you cannot do it.  You can make it lightgray.  Some systems don't
support bright colors for backgrounds, therefore bright colors are
replaced with their non-bright counterparts.

It is possible to use bright backgrounds on many terminals, but I don't 
think you can do it with MC without changing its code.  If you make a 
patch I'll consider it.

Either your terminal is misconfigured (brown and red too similar) or you
have problems with color vision.  Run this:

mc -C directory=red,yellow

Do you see the text or you have red on red?  What terminal aree you using?
