Do you see the difference between what you wrote, and what Darac wrote?

I found <https://manpages.debian.org/bookworm/mlterm/mlterm.1.en.html>
which has a "CONFIGURATION" section, which says:

    The contents  of  these  configuration  files  (other  than  menu)
    consist  of  lines  of "key=value" format.  Lines beginning with
    "#" are ignored.

Your files have spaces around the = sign.  The man page, and Darac's
proposal, do not.  So, the first thing I would try would be to remove
the spaces.

However, the people who wrote <https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Mlterm>
seem to think the spaces are allowed.  Some of their examples have
spaces in them.  And some do not.  So... who knows.  I've never used
this terminal before, so all I can do is search for documentation.
