[9fans] changing acme colors

[EBo]

 Can anyone suggest how to change the background window color in acme?
 The yellow is not quite contrasty enough for me, and I would like to
 lighten it up a bunch.

I think you'll need to change /n/sources/plan9/sys/src/cmd/acme/acme.c:868

 Thanks Connor.  I was hoping that there would be a config some place.  
 I'll look at hacking then...

 I'll be gone this weekend so Monday would be more than fine.

For a global color change see
http://plan9.bell-labs.com/sources/contrib/sl/reverse/rio/

To chance the color of the tick go to /src/libframe/frinit.c
in "void frinittick(Frame *f)" look for
/* vertical line */
draw(f->tick, Rect(FRTICKW/2, 0, FRTICKW/2+1, ft->height),
f->display->black, nil, ZP);
and change "f->display-> black" to "f->cols[TEXT]"

Cheers.
pmarin.

EBo,

switch to 8-bpp mode and take a look in /lib/cmap. the 'getcmap'
command will allow you to switch between the different colormaps and
let you experiment with acme's colors.

some monitors really get acme yellow wrong.
a color map does seem like exactly the solution.
