ST and OSC 11 ; ? ST              Yet another program (gcc) now defaults to dark blue on black for some things.              This pisses me off.              Apparently in the world we live in, every different program needs to use ANSI,       and it all needs a special snowflake environment variable (usually       PROGNAME_COLORS) to tell it to not suck on a terminal where dark blue is dark       blue and the default background colour is black.              To be fair, the default background colour is unknown to the program, so it       can't not suck on some terminals without overriding the background itself,       which would be quite rude, and the default default background colour in XTerm       is white.              XTerm supports OSC 10 ; ? ST and OSC 11 ; ? ST to query the RGB values of the       foreground and background colours respectively. This would allow programs to       actually know and as a result, and take away their excuse for sucking.              Hopefully at least someone does this and chooses default colours based in it.       --- SBBSecho 3.30-Linux        * Origin: Vertrauen - [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.net (1:103/705)       SEEN-BY: 103/705 105/81 106/201 124/5016 128/187 129/14 153/757 7715       SEEN-BY: 154/10 30 110 203/0 218/700 221/0 226/30 227/114 229/110       SEEN-BY: 229/206 317 400 426 428 470 700 705 240/1120 5832 263/1 266/512       SEEN-BY: 280/464 5003 5006 291/111 292/8125 301/1 320/219 322/757       SEEN-BY: 341/66 234 342/200 396/45 423/120 460/58 467/888 633/267       SEEN-BY: 633/280 384 414 418 420 422 2744 712/848 770/1 902/26 5020/400       SEEN-BY: 5075/35       PATH: 103/705 280/464 633/280 229/426           |
