Thanks for your help and information.
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!
