Good point, Evan. Correct if I'm mistaken, but here's what we need in .screenrc (for people who don't want to read those links): <---------cut here---------> # terminfo and termcap for nice 256 color terminal # allow bold colors - necessary for some reason attrcolor b ".I" # tell screen how to set colors. AB = background, AF=foreground termcapinfo xterm 'Co#256:AB=\E[48;5;%dm:AF=\E[38;5;%dm' # erase background with current bg color defbce "on" <---------cut here--------->
