Guys, I have a question that is not exactly Trinity related, but I think you might know
how to
solve my problem. I do most of my work in Konsole + Emacs. Terminal by default supports 8
colors
and if I stick with that everything is fine.
Now I'd like to have more colors. First I set TERM=xterm-256color in my .bashrc. Emacs
sees that
256 colors are available (as listed with M-x list-colors-display). Then I install
color-theme for
Emacs and try selecting themes that are available. Most of them are completely unusable,
which
leads me to conclusion that Konsole somehow distorts tho original colors intended by theme
authors. My question is about interaction between Konsole, TERM value and the way Emacs
sees
colors. In Konsole I can customize 20 different colors - how do they influence 256 colors
of the
terminal? I noticed that the color set I choose in Konsole influences the color theme in
Emacs -
again, how does this interact? At the moment colors I get are completely random and it
would be
good to have some control over it.
