Subject: [sup-talk] [PATCH] use any custom colors configured in config.yaml

Hi Dag,

Thanks for the patch! People have been clamoring for this functionality
forever and I have been cruelly not doing it for them.

A few minor comments:

Reformatted excerpts from Dag Odenhall's message of 2008-04-25:
> +    confcolor = $config[:colors][sym.to_s[0..-7].to_sym] rescue nil
> +    fg = Curses.const_get "COLOR_#{confcolor[:fg].upcase}" rescue fg
> +    bg = Curses.const_get "COLOR_#{confcolor[:bg].upcase}" rescue bg
> +    attrs = confcolor[:attrs].map {|a| Curses.const_get "A_#{a.upcase}" } rescue attrs

1. Can you wrap all this in an if statement, rather than having sequence of
   post-fix rescue stuff? You could do something like "if(confcolor
   = $config[...)" and set fg and bg within that.

2. Errors in the color names will be silently ignored. The
   NameError exception should be caught and turned into a
   BufferManager.flash and a Redwood::log to inform the user.

3. Since I feel like people will write a lot of these descriptions, I
   would load in colors from a colors.yaml file instead of from the
   config file. (I can do this one instead if you're unsure.)
