hi Tim,
| `emacs -nw` is subject to the TERM settings of the terminal it's running
| in. Depending on your distro that may be an 8 or 256 color variant. I'm
| suspicious based on your descriptions that your TERM setting may have
| changed recently.
ok yes ......... but it wasn't that recent ... i've only just got round
to trying to fix it
| The 256 color default them of emacs is much more subtle
| than the 8 color theme.
i'm sure ... but with imperfect eyesight 'crude and brutal' works
much better than 'subtle' for me :-)
| You can see what your TERM setting is by `echo $TERM` and you can see how
| many colors emacs thinks it can display by `M-x list-colors-display`.
echo $TERM ... straightforwardly gives 'xterm'
list-colors-display gives:
black #000000
red #cd0000
green #00cd00
yellow #cdcd00
blue #0000ee
magenta #cd00cd
cyan #00cdcd
white #e5e5e5
in effect, if i could change the 'cd's to 'ff's in the above (as picked
up by the keyword bindings for latex), i'd most likely be quite happy .....
is there a way of achieving that in emacs itself? ... other TERMs are
fine with the colours as is
| FWIW, some terminals allow you to change the TERM setting to something else
| if you'd prefer the 8 color variant.
thanks
richard.
