Re: Color: fg=white; bg=black

Diving into one's subconscious, suggests that mc would have
 <appearance settings> at the <top menu level>. And indeed:-

                      & probably Save settings.

 That works on the installation which doesn't need it;
but *this* one: GNU Midnight Commander 4.8.3
lacks that facility.

So how do I select & USE one of the many <skins>?

Now back to M$ & gmail to mail this.
And I remember why links can't do gmail:
 they want JS enabled, so they can push garbage in-yo-face!

This simple test & report needed booting to 3 installations.
Always avoid updating, unless you've got plenty time to waste
recovering your settings.
