Subject: [sup-talk] When using "default" in colors.yaml or colormap.rb, sup throws an exception
Date: Thu, 29 Jan 2009 15:45:24 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <dac0accd0901291345v5d811e87x10316ee886bc7752@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hello. First of all, thanks for this program!
I'm using a transparent terminal and would like to get sup's
background color set to "default".
So far, I have tried the following:
1. I created a colors.yaml file with the format:
:label:
:fg: yellow
:bg: default
:attrs: bold
2. When this gave no joy, I wiped colors.yaml and edited colormap.rb
directly, like:
:label => { :fg => "yellow", :bg => "default" }
I am able to set normal colors either way, an exception is only thrown
if I set any color to "default".
I have included the error message below, as well as any other relevant
info I can think of.
If you can give some suggestions on what else to check, or if you need
anything else, please let me know.
Thanks again for sup, and for your consideration.
