   ncurses uses terminfo and `linux` not the best for Putty. `xterm` may work,   
   but `putty` or `putty-256color` is the best for sure.

    WvV> In the background how it looks with 'putty-256color' and how it is   
    WvV> supposed to look. In the forground how it looks if TERM=linux.   
      
   putty-256color just add colors. Not every program will look different. For   
   example `ls` will.
