There are at least three ways to configure the color settings for an A-Shell application without modifying the application itself: First, you can edit the INI.CLR file (see Configuration for details.) Second, you can use the SET TERM FCOLOR # and SET TERM BCOLOR # commands within a startup command file to set the initial foreground and background colors. (For applications that are not “color-aware”, either of these first two techniques will be effective.) The last method is to change the definition of the color palette itself (i.e. what actual colors are associated with the color numbers used at the application level.) Under A-Shell/Windows, this can be done via the Edit..Settings menu (which see, above.) Under A-Shell/UNIX, you would have to do it within your terminal emulation software. (ZTERM, for example, has a color redefinition capability similar to A-Shell’s.)
