After further investigation, it seems to me that in section "viewer" any
colors defined are ignored, and the default colors defined in "core" are
used instead.

[core]
    _default_=lightgray;blue
    ...

[viewer]
    _default_=lightgray;black

Thus in the above example, viewer will still be gray/blue. Is there any
way to tell "mcview" to use different skin than mc, while?

I have (naively) tried adding "-S default", but that does not work:

include/audio
    Edit=true
    View=%view -S default mediainfo %f

thanks,
Martin
