Now I stick to the 8 color. But I am trying to change them a bit brighter, because they are now very dark and difficult to be seen on the screen (expecially the blue color). I guess I need to configure the terminfo to change the palette, right? I read the terminfo manual about capabilities u1, u2, u3, u4, initc, etc. Seems they are the ones to change the palette, but I can't find any example of them on the google. I tried several times but failed. Where can I get some examples of how to use the capabilities above? Thanks a lot! Stan
