Color Codes?
 
I'm using the latest version of zmud (beta), and I'm trying to use triggers to colorcode some of my settings. Specifically with #CW and #CO. It seems as if the entire numerical system for colors is completely off if you go by what's in the help files. Maybe they haven't been updated in awhile? I also seem to be completely unable to get my font to go in bold whatsoever using the #CW or #CO commands. Has anyone else experienced this problem at all?

I've experienced no problems of this sort with the public version. This is probably a bug in the beta version you are using and should be reported on the beta forum.

Might want to try something like:


%ansi( high, Green)Opaque: %ansi( high, Yellow)@opaque


I've never had any problems with the #CW command although I use it in it's simplest form.


#CW red


Also, I'm using the beta as well and just tested the #CO command (offline with #SHOW and a trigger). I can't get the font to show as bold either. bug report in beta, as lightbulb suggested.



Killing a fly on a friends forhead may not be overkill, use a hatchet to make sure the job is done.

First off, check this setting:
Under the preferences screen, make sure that Colors->ANSI Mapping has the Bold ANSI attribute set to 'Bold Font'.

Colors on your screen are commonly displayed using ANSI escape codes. The ANSI escape codes for MS-DOS originally displayed the bold flag as highlight since actual bold fonts did not naturally exist in non-graphical interfaces. These days we can set it to appear in bold and have the brighter range of colors at the same time. So instead of only having 8 'low' colors and 8 'high' colors, we now have all 16 colors appearing in either regular or bold font.

Eg.

#co high,blue
#cw bold,high,red

There's nothing wrong with the commands.

Cheers!
