Re: is there a way to change the default background colour?

i also got bored about the look that reminds so much about the old nc in dos.

i created a script /bin/m that does

#!/bin/sh
mc --colors 
normal=green,default:selected=blue,default:marked=brightblue,default:markselect=brightgreen,default:directory=green,default:executable=red,default:link=cyan,default:device=brightred,default:special=lightgray,default:errors=red,default:reverse=green,default:gauge=green,default:input=blue,default:dnormal=green,gray:dfocus=brightgreen,gray:dhotnormal=cyan,gray:dhotfocus=brightcyan,gray:menu=green,default:menuhot=cyan,default:menusel=blue,default:menuhotsel=cyan,default:helpnormal=cyan,default:editnormal=green,default:editbold=blue,default:editmarked=black,blue
-U

of course to be consistent you also need a mcedit wrapper:
/bin/med
#!/bin/sh
mcedit --colors
normal=green,default:selected=red,default:marked=brightred,default:markselect=brightgreen,default:directory=green,default:executable=blue,default:link=cyan,default:device=brightred,default:special=lightgray,default:errors=red,default:reverse=green,default:gauge=green,default:input=blue,default:dnormal=green,gray:dfocus=brightgreen,gray:dhotnormal=cyan,gray:menu=green,default:menuhot=cyan,default:menusel=blue,default:menuhotsel=cyan,default:helpnormal=cyan,default:editnormal=green,default:editbold=blue,default:editmarked=black,blue
$*

i found no other way to archieve that - and warn you: some things are
not readable with this settings.

the background color ist the 2nd parameter (often default) so i got
black/transparent looks.
