Re: [NCURSES/CDK] how to get the default background color?

[Bryan Christ]

chtype getbkgd(WINDOW *win)

this function will fetch the attributes of a given window as set by
wbkgdset().

you can then mask out what you want to know about the default attributes
of the window

A_CHARTEXT     Bit-mask to extract character
A_ATTRIBUTES   Bit-mask to extract attributes
A_COLOR        Bit-mask to extract color-pair field information

and then use the PAIR_NUMBER macro to match it to a color pair.

PAIR_NUMBER(attrs) Returns the pair number associated
                   with the COLOR_PAIR(n) attribute.
