sysadmcolor(F) 19 June 1992 sysadmcolor(F) Name sysadmcolor - colors Description The files $HOME/.sysadmcolor and /usr/lib/sysadm/sysadmcolor describe what colors will be used within each window of sysadmsh(ADM). This fea- ture will only come into effect on terminals which support color, and have the necessary information in their respective terminfo(M) defini- tions. When sysadmsh(ADM) is started, it will first try to read the file .sysadmcolor in the user's home directory. If that file does not exist, it will try to read the file /usr/lib/sysadm/sysadmcolor. If neither file exists, a default color table stored within sysadmsh(ADM) is used. Each line in a sysadmcolor file must be in one of the following formats: Comment line The first character must be a ``#'' (number sign); the rest of the line is taken to be a comment and ignored. Blank line Any lines containing just tabs and spaces will be ignored. Window Color This line must have three fields, which can be separated by spaces or tabs; Sysadmsh.window: foreground background The window field is a label for one of the various windows that sysadmsh(ADM) can display, chosen from the following; menuwindow which contains the menu bar, located on the second line of the display. descwindow which contains the description of the currently available menu selections, located on the third line of the display. contextwindow which contains the name of the last selected menu entry, located in the top right of the display. datewindow which contains the current working directory and date, located on the fourth line of the display. modewindow which displays those editing modes which are in effect, located in the middle of the top line of the display. errorwindow in which error messages display, located on the bot- tom line of the display. pointwindow which is used for pick-and-point lists. formwindow in which forms are displayed. scanwindow which is used to display scanned listings of data. editwindow which is used to edit text, usually opened over a field the user has selected for editing. The foreground and background fields contain the code numbers for the foreground and background colors used in that window. The num- bers for each color are listed below; _____________________________________________ Code Color _____________________________________________ 0 Black 1 Red 2 Green 3 Yellow 4 Blue 5 Magenta 6 Cyan 7 White Note that if the file does not contain a line for a particular win- dow construct, the default colors from the internal color table will be used. Examples Below is an example file, which shows the default colors used by sysadmsh(ADM). # # The standard colors used by sysadmsh(ADM). # Sysadmsh.menu_window: 7 0 Sysadmsh.desc_window: 7 0 Sysadmsh.context_window: 7 0 Sysadmsh.date_window: 7 0 Sysadmsh.mode_window: 7 0 Sysadmsh.error_window: 7 0 Sysadmsh.point_window: 7 0 Sysadmsh.form_window: 7 0 Sysadmsh.prompt_window: 7 0 Sysadmsh.scan_window: 7 0 Sysadmsh.edit_window: 7 0 See also sysadmsh(ADM), terminfo(F), terminfo(M) Notes If the environment variable $SYSADM is set to other than the directory /usr/lib/sysadm, then this is where the system-wide version of the sysadmcolor file should be found by sysadmsh(ADM).
