OK, that works nicely on the new version.
But the old mc, lacking the facilities of <smart loading the skins>,
wouldn't have provided the big selection if they were not effective in
changing font/color.  I just need where to copy the <skinFile> to ?

It would be an affront to my engineering competence to 'buy a new one'.
I want to speak to the engine-year, not the sales-lady!

No!! You don't want to scroll up to the top and lose your place.
While I'm editing this in mc, because gmail can't handle it:
mc shows me ALWAYS at the top like:
* the PATH/File, Size, Cursor position, time.

Gmail won't show you that, because they want to keep you
confused and stupid.

And I don't want to send a signal half-way around the world to
California, so that google can track my actions, by handing me
one item at a time, which I need to individually request.

In the 90's I had complete OSs eg. [ETHOberon] on 1M4 fd0:
 could Cut/Paste multiple copies of multiple texts on same screen;
 to keep the <mail headers> always visible & editable.
Editable off-line. Accumulate all to-be-sent mail and send with
ONE artillery-shot.

How do you send 8 different mails to different destinations,
with a limited on-line access time, via gmail?

Google just wants to engage your attention, by treating you like
a suckling: handing you single items on demand, and having an
opportunity to interspers the dialog, with their commercialism.

I'd like to point out one thing I found - using xterm-256color changes the
look of the mc, switching back to TERM=xterm the bold works again...

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

=> PullDn > Option > Appearnce > Pulldown <- Test various
                      & 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.

This Debian7 laptop's mc is difficult to read.
`mc -b` is better;
but white against black-background would be better,
but I can't decode the "Color" section of the `man`.

Please give the appropriate command/syntax.
Also bold-font would be good, but I guess that's not mc's job?

== TIA.

One upgrades mc to a version that is NOT ~5 years old.
