  • Adding color

    From Richard Vonzel@1:154/110 to All on Mon Jul 21 08:37:39 2025
    Hello everybody!

    I've been working on adding some color to my setup of GoldEd. I'm not using "INCLUDE" in my golded.cfg file, just adding the color statements to the .cfg, but the color isn't working. I'm on the latest version 20250409 I believe and have tried gedwin, gedwin64 and the others. It looks link I have to run golded3, but I don't have that one. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to add color?

    Thanks,
    Richard

    It is. But you can't see it if your terminal can't display colors.

    For a "save" color config without errors use the predefined colorset patterns. It's on page 26 of my edited version of the golded reference manual but i think a text search will reveal the location in the original version. If you don't get different colors with that presets then your issue is with the terminal.
