     swirc.theme — how to write themes for swirc

DESCRIPTION

     This manual page is the ultimate reference to consult when writing themes to swirc(1).

TEXT DECORATION

           What          Hex    Octal    Appearance
           Blink         1d     035      ^]
           Bold          02     002      ^B
           Color         03     003      ^C
           Normal        0f     017      ^O
           Reverse       16     026      ^V
           Underline     1f     037      ^_

     Example usage:
           blabla ^Bbold text^B blabla
           blabla ^Vreversed text^V blabla
           blabla ^_underlined text^_ blabla

     Always use the literal control characters because else it won't work!

     Blink is a no operation because it's annoying.

COLORS

           Number    Name
           00        white
           01        black
           02        blue          (navy)
           03        green
           04        red
           05        brown         (maroon)
           06        purple
           07        orange        (olive)
           08        yellow
           09        lt.green      (lime)
           10        teal          (a kinda green/blue cyan)
           11        lt.cyan       (cyan ?) (aqua)
           12        lt.blue       (royal)
           13        pink          (light purple) (fuchsia)
           14        grey
           15        lt.grey       (silver)

     For the colors 16-99 see the output of the command /colormap.  Enough color pairs must've
     been initialized.  (193 color pairs are too few for the colors 16-99 to be used as
     backgrounds.)

     The syntax of the color attribute in text has the format ^CN[,M].  N will be the text
     (foreground) color and M the background color.  A background color (M) is optional and is
     not always included.

     N and M can maximally be two digits long.  Although the colors {0,1,2,...,9} are supported
     you are highly encouraged to use {00,01,02,...,09}.

     A plain ^C can be used to turn the color effect off.  While typing ^O will make sure ALL the
     text effects gets reset.  For example:
           blabla ^C05,02red text on blue background^C blabla
           blabla ^C09green text^O blabla

     Of course settings can start with colored text and a closing ^C is not essential.
