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
