[solved, I suppose] weird colors when using yaourt-git with screen

This happens only when using yaourt-git in screen: http://loka.pl/outgoing/yaourt_colors.png
Is it just me? I tried changing all the color settings in yaourtrc but I can only "fix" it by disabling color entirely.

No it's not just you.

If you run yaourt outside of screen, you can see that the highlited text is supposed to be in italics.

Re: [solved, I suppose] weird colors when using yaourt-git with screen

It looks like it's impossible to get italics working in screen.  I made a patch for yaourt-git to get rid of the problem, though this is really a pretty crude hack that simply disables italics when yaourt is used inside screen:

This is an altered PKGBUILD for yaourt-git (you can use the yaourt-git tarball from aur and just add the patch line and update md5sums).

Sorry to be inquisitive like this...  Was it with the current version of yaourt-git (i.e. pulled from the git repository recently).

Or, actually, could you do a little test for me?  Type this in a terminal running screen:

echo -e "\033[3mtest"

Is the displayed text highlighted or italicized?  If it is italicized, what terminal are you using, and could you post your screenrc and Xdefaults here so I can try and figure out what's wrong with my setup?

No, probably not most recent. I will check it out and see though.

test returns highlight in screen

umm here is the new working patch (for new version of yaourt, and for those who change their $TERM when in screen):

Re: [solved, I suppose] weird colors when using yaourt-git with screen

Instead of hacking yaourt, I found adding these lines to .Xdefaults will fix the problem:

           URxvt.colorBD:  white
           URxvt.colorIT:  green

I found this trick from http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/har … urxvt.html.

Sorry, this is not working at last.
