lynx-dev Lynx32/Lynx_95 Color Definition Syntax Error (10/10/98 release) |

aloha, wayne!
i recently downloaded the Lynx32 archive (based on Lynx 2.8.1pre9) which you
released on 10/10/98, but when i attempted to run it with the configuration
file i customized for AFB and Blynx, it refuses to run, claiming a syntax
error
in lynx.cfg in the COLOR definitions, and citing the following line:
COLOR:0:white:black # normal text
i fail to "see" what is wrong with this line... it has not only worked in all
previous versions of Lynx32, but also works when the AFB/Blynx blind-tailored
lynx.cfg file is used with Lynx on a Unix/Linux platform (when, of course,
Lynx
is compiled with slang)
so, what gives?
i've appended the entire COLOR definition section from my customized lynx.cfg
file below:
# COLORS (only available if compiled with SVr4 curses or slang)
#
# The line must be of the form:
# COLOR:Integer:Foreground:Background
#
# The Integer value is interpreted as follows:
# 0 - normal - normal text
# 1 - bold - hyperlinks, see also BOLD_* options above
# 2 - reverse - statusline
# 3 - bold + reverse (not used)
# 4 - underline - text emphasis (EM, I, B tags etc.)
# 5 - bold + underline - hyperlinks within text emphasis
# 6 - reverse + underline - currently selected hyperlink
# 7 - reverse + underline + bold - WHEREIS search hits
#
# Each Foreground and Background value must be one of:
# black red green brown
# blue magenta cyan lightgray
# gray brightred brightgreen yellow
# brightblue brightmagenta brightcyan white
#
# Uncomment and change any of the compilation defaults.
#
#COLOR:0:black:white
#COLOR:1:blue:white
#COLOR:2:yellow:blue
#COLOR:3:green:white
#COLOR:4:magenta:white
#COLOR:5:blue:white
#COLOR:6:red:white
#COLOR:7:magenta:cyan
#
# NOTE TO LOW VISION USERS:
# The following color values have been suggested for maximum contrast
# by Laura Eaves <address@hidden> and have been tested by over
# thirty low-vision users.
#
# These colors have been tested with TERM=vt220 and TERM=ansi
#
# Unix/Shell Account Users Note: To use these colors, start lynx with
# the '-color' switch. As noted above, color is only available if Lynx
# was compiled with slang.
#
# Comments on the colors should be sent to address@hidden and
# address@hidden
#
COLOR:0:white:black # normal text
COLOR:1:yellow:black # bold
COLOR:2:brightcyan:black # reverse (status bar)
COLOR:3:brightblue:black # bold reverse
COLOR:4:brightgreen:black # underline
COLOR:5:brightmagenta:black # bold underline
COLOR:6:white:blue # reverse underline (current link)
COLOR:7:white:red # reverse underline bold
