My konsole (2.7.4) really does do 256 cubed colours, 16Mi, or appears to be trying to as far as my eyes can see. Picking a colour randomly from rgb.txt, dark salmon, in bash: $ echo $'\e[38;2;233;150;122m hello \e[0m' Chris Jones asked: >The purpose of syntax highlighting being to help differentiate text >elements at a glance, I'm not sure the ability to display 16M colors >concurrently is in itself relevant. A developer looking at code all day long, every day, can tweak the colours to get ones he or she likes. >All the same, I'd be curious to know what the Konsole developers had in >mind when they implemented 16M colors support. Compatibility with guis, maybe. Or maybe it was just there. Regards, John -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
