Color schemes #21

Closed flowac closed 4 years ago

flowac commented 5 years ago

I noticed that you are changing the colors by changing the default color definitions (eg: redefining white or black). How could I change the default foreground and background by specifying a color like FG=GREEN or BG=RED? Terry's help files mentioned something about global variables but I couldn't figure out where they are stored or how to change them.

I managed to change the color of the status bar at the top (showing date and CPU load) by changing /Adam/WallPaper, but I would like to change the color of the terminal and the text editor.

Can you give a more specific example? I kinda understand what you're getting at. But you need to keep in mind that you're working in a display mode with just 16 colors. If you need to temporarily change FG/BG color, you can do it like this:

"$FG,8$Welcome to $FG,5$Lambda Shell$FG,8$!\n";
"Type $FG,0$intro$FG,8$ for a quick introduction.\n\n";

As for re-assigning the defaults (e.g. making green the default color for new terminals), I wouldn't really know where to start looking.

Yes I meant the default color for new terminals. I did a search for words "BLUE" and "WHITE" in the entire project. The only thing I found was line 222 of /Kernel/KTask.HC I changed the colors there but it had no effect after I restarted.

Edit: Recompiled kernel and nothing changed.
