Pushed version 0.010
Included some fun for xterm users - my favourite terminal emulator :)

[DebianJoe]

Thanks for the hard work on this:

BTW: Have you ever read the Notice at the bottom of xterm's documentation? If you haven't, you should; it's funny.

[xaos52]

^ No, I had not seen that notice before.
I have not until now had to dive into the code.
xterm seems to be doing well for what I am using it for, which is not a lot, to be honest, because I try to stay within emacs as much as possible.

Thanks for the heads up, Joe :)

Thanks for your script, doctor.
Just used it and here's my fresh Elektra with new colors.

[xaos52]

^ Nice one.
Thanks for liking it. :)

That is so awesome, I have no words for it.

Pushed version 0.011
This version recognizes .Xresources snippets as color definitions and can apply the color theme either to console or xterm.

Just drop a color theme definition from board index >> configs and scrots >> xresources/Xdefauts colors in your color themes directory and console-colors can apply the theme both to console and xterm.

We are getting there :)

[rhowaldt]

sounds really good xaos.

[dkeg]

yes, excellent effort. Thanks xaos!

[xaos52]

Pushed version 0.012
Which includes automatic .Xresources update.

[xaos52]

Pushed version 0.013
Which can change urxvt colors on the fly.

Next terminal emulator?

[rhowaldt]

which ones have you got so far doctor X? (btw, nice avatar!)

[ivanovnegro]

Great, finally on urxvt.

[xaos52]

@rhowald: terminal emulators? xterm and urxvt can change colors on the fly.
For other terminal emulators you need to use -u to update ~/.Xresources, stop X use xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources and restart X to activate the new themes.

how about stupid stuff like Terminator? uses its own internal system or something, right? let's not cater to that shit if so.
sounds great doctor, you do a good job. i wish all doctors were like you ;)

[machinebacon]

terminator and lxterminal and sakura and whatnot have their own shit, i think it's a bit much to cater them, but Irene (fog) uses terminator, and she posted her snippet to make paletter work for terminator a few days ago. I suppose lxterm and the other GUI VTs use the same syntax there.
