My hardstatus line invokes fairly elaborate backticks that tell me all I need to know about the current state of my system.
I was thinking of making it more readable by enhancing it with a bit of color. One backtick for instance tells me how hot my system is running and since /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/trip_points contains: critical (S5): 115 C active[0]: 86 C: devices=FAN1 active[1]: 76 C: devices=FAN0 ..I thought I might color the display, green, orange, and red, depending on where in the above range my system's temperature currently falls. I just tested a backtick that specifies the required xterm ctlseq's: echo -e "\033[38;5;160m $systemp \033[0m" i.e. I am writing the contents of the $temp variable to stdout using foreground color 160 in my xterm's 256-color palette. This works fine when I run it from a bash prompt .. prints my system's current temperature in dark pink letters, but when run as a screen backtick it displays "\033[38;5;160m 56C \033[0m" - white letters on a black background. Is there any way I can use the current gnu/screen framework to dynamically choose the color of the hardstatus line contents in order to highlight critical pieces of data, or do I need to hack the code to achieve this?
