| As I'm sure most of you know, gmud switches the color values for light grey and white around as opposed to every other telnet client out there.
Using the stock smaug color code, is there any way to make a configurable option for gmud users that would allow them to see colors as they are meant to be?
Thanks :P |

| Yeah, you probably wanna put a flag in for gmud users, and add a command that allows people to toggle it on/off. Then find the code that interprets color codes( I beleive that it is in comm.c in stock), and put a check, if they are flagged, use grey instead of white, and vice versa.
Or, better yet, tell them to use MUSHclient instead :) |

| Yes.
What it does is switch whatever your default color is, for a grey.
I believe it does still render colors correctly. The problem is when you have grey text, it displays 'real' grey text as a different grey.
Try setting default color to a non-grey color, and youll see what happens. all of that color in the output becomes grey.
So you can't actually compensate, because it depends on what their default color is. |

| If the mud is using the FUSS package, then it is possible for people to change the color output from the mud as well as customize what colors are used where.
So if you need to change grey and white around, you can do that. You don't need to mess with Gmud to accomplish this. | | Top |

| There is a myriad of free windows MU* clients these days. Many of these have better features than Gmud. In addition, these clients are still supported by the developers. IMHO, there should be no reason why you should have to specifically design for Gmud users, when you can recommend newer, open source clients.
However, if you do wish to design for Gmud users, you could probably do a color test in the new user signup process to make the experience essentially painless for Gmud users. |
