The TinTin++ message board

[forwardslash]

I recently tried out tintin on my Arch installation and the colors didn't match up. I'm currently using urxvt with some customization (colors and what not) and am wondering if that's what is messing up.

Basically I want to know if the colors used in tintin are affected by .Xdefaults or if they're affected by some other config file?

TinTin++ colors are whatever the terminal has set as the default. You could try something like the following in .Xdefaults:

Hmm, is there anyway to make the standard colors load when I start tt++? I have my .Xdefaults setup to work with my desktop theme.

You can try the colorinit alias in the color utils script:

http://tintin.sourceforge.net/scripts/colorutils.php

It works for xterm, but I don't think it works for rxvt.

If that fails it's an option to substitute your mud's ansi colors to xterm 256 color codes. You'd have to enable: #config {convert meta} {on} and add a color substitution for each ansi color, typically 16 or so.

For example to change ansi bright red to xterm bright red you'd use:

#substitute {\e[1;31m} {<fbb>}

Some muds use odd combinations however, like \e[0;1;31m.

Awesome, I'll try that tonight after work. Many thanks!
