| | 1 | BarnOwl has built-in support for 256color terminals, assuming your libncursesw (and GNU `screen`, if you're using it) support it. |
| | 2 | |
| | 3 | If you're running BarnOwl out of the locker and want 256color support, use `barnowl-256color` instead of `barnowl`. |
| | 4 | |
| | 5 | As of Debian Lenny, the stock screen is built with 256color support, but it is disabled by default. |
| | 6 | To enable it, add the following to your `~/.screenrc`. |
| | 7 | {{{ |
| | 8 | # tell screen how to set colors. AB = background, AF=foreground |
| | 9 | termcapinfo xterm 'Co#256:AB=\E[48;5;%dm:AF=\E[38;5;%dm' |
| | 10 | # erase background with current bg color |
| | 11 | defbce "on" |
| | 12 | }}} |
| | 13 | |
| | 14 | For older platforms, the barnowl locker has a newer `screen` under the name of `screen-256color`, and /mit/barnowl/etc/screenrc has the aforementioned additions. |
