status window and color mapping
|
Status window seems to use different colour mapping than the main window.
No matter what I change in foreground mapping settings page, it only affects the main window -
putting, say, %ansi(blue)blue in status window and #saying the same in the main window
produces different colours.
How do sync the colour mappings between the two windows? zmud version is 7.21 |

I can't recall you being able to control the status window colors in zMUD. The way I accomplished this was explicitly stating the colors I wanted to use in the status window with either the color tag or the %ansi function.

This is exactly what I do, read the original post again! :)
I changed some colours on the foreground mapping settings page after I started using status window and
it (status window) seems to use the old mapping and is unaffected by any changes to the foreground mapping.
I put %ansi(bold,black)black in status window code and it's old colour for highlight black,
but if I do #say %ansi(bold,black)black in the main window, it's in the new colour.
Granted, it's not that big a deal, but it's a bug and I don't like the old default colour setting (AKA %ansi(grey)), it's too bright :) |

Ok, I get what you mean now. Unfortunately, since zMUD is considered feature complete I don't think anything else can be done about this. I recommend giving CMUD a try, it has a host of new features and and you can control the Status Window Foreground/Background.

Thought I'm not the first person to encounter this bug, assumed there would be a known fix/workaround.

Use Mxp Color tag
| Code: |
| <color fore=#FF000 back=#696969>Some Colour</color> |
Also it looks like in the status window you don't need the use the closing tag </color>
So you can just do
| Code: |
| <c #FF6912>Some sort of orange. |
