Yes, the master branch is just what I released as tlf-1.3.1pre last
weekend for testing. So that is ok.
Color handling in ncurses is quite a nightmare, especially as every
terminal emulator interprets the color settings differently. You have
to experiment to find a good solution. But I expect that xterm-256color
accepts .Xressources configuration as xterm itself does.
