Ranger V uxrvt-unicode: colours gone awry

I just checked, there hasn't been and update to rangers 'default88' colourscheme, but the colours ar very off in uxrvt-unicode. I checked xterm, and colours display fine there.

Is there a way to fix this?

Aaaah, so I'm not the only one who's Ranger went color-crazy after the urxvt update...
@Mr. Elendig: Means your color scheme is still the same with that AUR urxvt release?

I also have this problem and I temporarily downgraded to 9.07-2 (the last one I had in cache). Should this be reported as a bug or is it a "feature"?

Strange, Ranger still looks the same here after switching to the official Urxvt. Did any of you upgrade Ranger lately, since mine is about 2 weeks old?

With version 9.09 the 256color-patch has gone upstream, so rxvt-unicode is now officially supporting 256 colors. The old rxvt-unicode-256color package has already been removed from the repository as it is no longer needed.

@litemotiv: I don't really know what this "ranger" is, what you are talking about I searched for such a package but didn't find anything. Anyway, I did a pacman -Syu last weekend, so the whole system should be fairly up-to-date.

@stfn: That is something I suspected, however on a first search in the man page I thought only 88 colors were supported. I am now reading with more detail and it seems that both modes are supported, but I do not find many information about it, e.g. can they be selected at run-time?

BTW, the use of color/colour in the man page is quite mixed.

Ok, good to know . Reading the first post I thought it was the name of some generic colorscheme.

My problem is with the colors of the tab-bar (tabbed extension), vim, and the prompt color. I checked and they use colors in the 88 range, so for me the key is probably the change to 256 colors. I expect the same happens for ranger?

It's basically just another capability of the terminal. The 256 colors mode is used by default and stated in the terminfo but it's still up to each application itself how it uses the available colors.
