The TinTin++ message board

I think it would be nifty if we could colorize the #split section of the input of tintin++. Not just that, but perhaps make the color of the text within it the same as the cursor text, and be able to change the background of it.

If this is more of a terminal feature, perhaps someone might be able to point me in the direction of a terminal which can do something like this?

You know... I've never tried it before, but I'm pretty sure (at least in Linux) you could very easily use a terminal emulator which supports splits / etc of its own, and simply redirect the I/O of one instance to the one running TT++.

I've done some similar things with Terminator and a couple other terminal emulators out there... just never involving TinTin. I don't see why something like that wouldn't work!

What might work is:

#showme {<128> } {0}

That might make the input line green for the remainder of the session.

There's also: #config {command color} {<code>}

Don't forget if you are running tintin in a window in a GUI enviroment (TinTin & XWindows & GNU/Linux OR TinTin under Cygwin with the XWin server) then you can specify a foreground and background colour for the underlying window that TinTin inherits when you start it with the standard 'X' -bg and -fg arguments. Also you can specify a different font wiith -fn <font> (best to use a monospaced one, use 'xfontsel' to examine the ones on your system. )
