al@19226 1 This is a collection of simple PIN or passphrase entry dialogs which utilize
al@19226 2 the Assuan protocol as described by the aegypten project; see
al@19226 3 http://www.gnupg.org/aegypten/ for details.
al@19226 4
al@19226 5 There are programs for different toolkits available. This package contains
al@19226 6 program for Curses library, for example ncurses.

al@19226 8 Curses Pinentry
al@19226 9 ---------------
al@19226 10
al@19226 11 The curses pinentry supports colors if the terminal does. The colors can be
al@19226 12 specified by the --colors=FG,BG,SO option, which sets the foreground,
al@19226 13 background and standout colors respectively. The standout color is used for
al@19226 14 error messages. Colors can be named by any of "black", "red", "green",
al@19226 15 "yellow", "blue", "magenta", "cyan" and "white". The foreground and standout
al@19226 16 color can be prefixed by "bright-", "bright", "bold-" and "bold", and any of
al@19226 17 these prefixes has the same effect of making the color bolder or brighter. Two
al@19226 18 special color names are defined as well: "default" chooses the default color,
al@19226 19 and "none" disables use of colors. The name "none" is only meaningful for the
al@19226 20 standout color and in this case a reversed effect is used for error messages.
al@19226 21 For the other colors, disabling colors means the same as using the defaults.
al@19226 22 The default colors are as follows:
al@19226 23
al@19226 24 * Foreground: Terminal default
al@19226 25 * Background: Terminal default
al@19226 26 * Standout: Bright red
al@19226 27
al@19226 28 Note that color support is limited by the capabilities of the display terminal.
al@19226 29 Some color combinations can be very difficult to read, and please know that
al@19226 30 colors are perceived differently by different people.
