Re: [Nano-devel] feature request -- shaded groups of lines

[Mike Scalora]

Reading this, an idea occurred to me. This is proof-of-concept for using iTerm's (Mac) background image, in tiled mode to get a green bar like I think you are asking.

See: https://imgur.com/a/kRzJ8

I'm guessing there are terminals on the various platforms you might be using that have this feature. Of course you can change the opacity of the green bar in the image...

I wonder if there is a terminal program that has a green bar feature, iTerm is open source so there's always that.

Thanks for your suggestion. I realize now that another, probably
better way to do it is to simply
configure the X-terminal window to use a background image of horizontal stripes.
