[done] Vifm - show hidden files as default????

as the subject says...
How do I set in my vifmrc to always show hidden/dot files when vifm starts?
also, can anyone point me to somewhere on how to theme/color vifm?

I can't help you with the dotfiles setting (other than suggesting hacking the code); for the colourscheme, there is this thread:
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=91202

#edit The relevant part of vifmrc is:

# The regular expression used to filter files out of
# the directory listings.
# LWIN_FILTER=\.o$ and LWIN_INVERT=1 would filter out all
# of the .o files from the directory listing. LWIN_INVERT=0
# would show only the .o files

LWIN_FILTER=\.o$
LWIN_INVERT=1
RWIN_FILTER=\.o$
RWIN_INVERT=1

jasonwryan,  i have looked over that very section. It just makes no sense to me. The colorschemes
I have played with. Starting to get the hang of them.

EDIT: I have dropped trying vifm, just not my choice
thank you for the pointers

Just started to play with it. Found this: http://src.gnu-darwin.org/ports/misc/vi … c/vifm.txt

'za' in normal mode toggles showing/hiding of dot files.
