Other Help Topics :: midnight commander

I would like to use the midnight commander, but I can hardly read the text with the DSL color setting (text is grey, backgroud is black).
Therefore I would like to set the colors to the default values (white/blue).

My question:
How can I set the mc colors in DSL?

Thanks for your help in advance.

If you look at the Midnight Commander FAQ, they talk about changing the colors. It doesn't look all that easy, but I hope it helps.

I agree, the default colors are very hard to read.

Add my vote to the "please change the default MC colors for the next version of DSL" crowd.

A simple way to make it readable is to use the command "mc -b". This removes all filetype-specific coloring, and should use whatever color you have set as foreground on your current terminal.

edit: This doesn't seem to work with xterm, but does with rxvt and aterm

You can install a plugin too,
