This package contains 1.9 +program for Curses library, for example ncurses. 1.10 + 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.
