Sides of Sidebar are White

[noctuid]

This is what the sidebar looks like for me with mutt-kz:

It looks pretty ugly to me.

This is what it looks like with the lunar-linux sidebar patch:

Ah, I see what your problem is. As things stand, this is controlled by the "sidebar" color setting -- you should be able to change it via color sidebar white black or whatever suits your theme. Does that work ?

Ah thanks, for the mutt I was using previously it was color sidebar_new (color sidebar gave an error). I've also noticed that the sidebar_shortpath and sidebar_folderindent settings don't exist in mutt-kz (though it it acts as if both were true). Are there different sidebar patches?

[Dabsen]

I don't know, though I assume they probably diverged from a common original patch. It might be a good idea to merge the improvements here... The color settings are inconsistent in mutt-kz : 'sidebar' only controls the delimiter, 'sidebar_new' and 'sidebar_flagged' control the names of folders with new or flagged messages, and the other sidebar lines are controlled by 'normal'. This is not ideal. As for the automatic folderindent, it can be a nuisance -- as for me I just commented out the indenting code.

Thanks for that info. sidebar_new and sidebar_flagged and normal have the same behaviour in the normal patch. If by inconsistent, you're talking about the fact that there is no sidebar_normal, then I agree. I don't know if you can actually change the colour of the delimiter in the default patch (there is no sidebar). I think that's an addition here (though I'm not sure why white is default), and the name is misleading.

It looks like there's already an issue about the lack of sidebar_format ( #59 ).

I've ended up just sourcing a script like this to deal with the differences.

mutt_kz=$(mutt -v | grep mutt-kz)
sidebar=$(mutt -v | grep sidebar)

if [ $mutt_kz != "" ]; then
    echo "color sidebar color223 color235"
elif [ $sidebar != "" ];then
    echo "sidebar_shortpath = yes"
    echo "set sidebar_folderindent = no"
fi

Yes, I agree, this 'sidebar' option is misleading, and undocumented (at least, I think). I just know about it because I looked at the code when writing my config. Ideally we should have 'sidebar_normal' and 'sidebar_delim', I suppose; but well, it works well enough now.

Volunteers? ;-) (for docs updates, or/and implement missing sitebar features?)

[karelzak]

Note that is also

https://github.com/karelzak/mutt-kz/pull/79

I'll merge it probably.

With mutt-kz-1.6.0.1-1.fc23.x86_64 it is color sidebar_divider black white now. See http://www.neomutt.org/feature/sidebar/#sidebar-colors
