1 This is a collection of simple PIN or passphrase entry dialogs which utilize
2 the Assuan protocol as described by the aegypten project; see
3 http://www.gnupg.org/aegypten/ for details.
5 There are programs for different toolkits available. This package contains
6 program for Curses library, for example ncurses.
8 Curses Pinentry
9 ---------------
11 The curses pinentry supports colors if the terminal does. The colors can be
12 specified by the --colors=FG,BG,SO option, which sets the foreground,
13 background and standout colors respectively. The standout color is used for
14 error messages. Colors can be named by any of "black", "red", "green",
15 "yellow", "blue", "magenta", "cyan" and "white". The foreground and standout
16 color can be prefixed by "bright-", "bright", "bold-" and "bold", and any of
17 these prefixes has the same effect of making the color bolder or brighter. Two
18 special color names are defined as well: "default" chooses the default color,
19 and "none" disables use of colors. The name "none" is only meaningful for the
20 standout color and in this case a reversed effect is used for error messages.
21 For the other colors, disabling colors means the same as using the defaults.
22 The default colors are as follows:
24 * Foreground: Terminal default
25 * Background: Terminal default
26 * Standout: Bright red
28 Note that color support is limited by the capabilities of the display terminal.
29 Some color combinations can be very difficult to read, and please know that
30 colors are perceived differently by different people.
