mc background

[Jacques-Olivier KAPPS]

Hi Martin,

I am also interested in that topic, so here I can share with you what I have already achieved.

First I am using a transparent Eterm with fluxbox and the background set with Esetroot. Then I set the MC transparent with an alias and didn't modify the configuration files. So I have in my ~/.bashrc : 

alias mc="mc --colors directory=,default:executable=,default:link=,default:devic
e=,default:special=,default:normal=,default:selected=white,blue:marked=,default:
markselect=,blue:core=,black:menu=green,black:menuhot=green,black: menusel=green
,black:menuhotsel=green,black"

Here is a snapshot: http://membres.lycos.fr/kininejack/10062004.png

(sorry it's quite a big file)

Now I would like to achieve total transparency, with only colorized text, without menu backgrounds. I must find some time to spend on it.

Hope that helps,

Jacques-Olivier.
