     1.4 +This is a collection of simple PIN or passphrase entry dialogs which utilize
     1.5 +the Assuan protocol as described by the aegypten project; see
     1.6 +http://www.gnupg.org/aegypten/ for details.
     1.7 +
     1.8 +There are programs for different toolkits available. This package contains
     1.9 +program for Curses library, for example ncurses.

    1.11 +Curses Pinentry
    1.12 +---------------
    1.13 +
    1.14 +The curses pinentry supports colors if the terminal does. The colors can be
    1.15 +specified by the --colors=FG,BG,SO option, which sets the foreground,
    1.16 +background and standout colors respectively. The standout color is used for
    1.17 +error messages. Colors can be named by any of "black", "red", "green",
    1.18 +"yellow", "blue", "magenta", "cyan" and "white". The foreground and standout
    1.19 +color can be prefixed by "bright-", "bright", "bold-" and "bold", and any of
    1.20 +these prefixes has the same effect of making the color bolder or brighter. Two
    1.21 +special color names are defined as well: "default" chooses the default color,
    1.22 +and "none" disables use of colors. The name "none" is only meaningful for the
    1.23 +standout color and in this case a reversed effect is used for error messages.
    1.24 +For the other colors, disabling colors means the same as using the defaults.
    1.25 +The default colors are as follows:
    1.26 +
    1.27 +  * Foreground: Terminal default
    1.28 +  * Background: Terminal default
    1.29 +  * Standout:   Bright red
    1.30 +
    1.31 +Note that color support is limited by the capabilities of the display terminal.
    1.32 +Some color combinations can be very difficult to read, and please know that
    1.33 +colors are perceived differently by different people.
