| Description | Allows the user to define in what color menus are shown. |
| This patch allows the user to define in what color menus are shown. For example, putting
OPTIONS=menucolors MENUCOLOR=" blessed "=green MENUCOLOR=" holy "=green MENUCOLOR=" cursed "=red MENUCOLOR=" unholy "=red MENUCOLOR=" cursed .* (being worn)"=orange&underline in the configuration file makes all known blessed items show up in green, all cursed items show up in red and all cursed worn items show up in orange and underlined when viewing inventory. If you have regex.h but it is not GNU (e.g. DJGPP, *BSD), uncomment #define MENU_COLOR_REGEX_POSIX in include/config.h If you do not have regex.h, comment #define MENU_COLOR_REGEX out from include/config.h and replace the MENUCOLOR lines in your config file with these: MENUCOLOR="* blessed *"=green MENUCOLOR="* holy *"=green MENUCOLOR="* cursed *"=red MENUCOLOR="* unholy *"=red MENUCOLOR="* cursed * (being worn)"=orange&underline Colors: black, red, green, brown, blue, magenta, cyan, gray, orange, lightgreen, yellow, lightblue, lightmagenta, lightcyan, white. Attributes: none, bold, dim, underline, blink, inverse. Note that the terminal is free to interpret the attributes however it wants. TTY or Windows GUI only, thought the Windows GUI part doesn't obey attributes. | |

| Very useful, but has a crash bug on some systems due to an uninitialized variable. After patching, go into src/options.c, find the line:
struct percent_color_option *percent_color_option = (struct percent_color_option *)alloc(sizeof(*percent_color_option)); and, add in right after, percent_color_option->next = NULL;[Quote] | ||

| This, along with Statuscolors, are the patches you *need* to play this game. The rest are optional. This patch will point out cursed items, wands of cancellation, etc. ... I can't rate whether it works, or could easily be added to the next release, but I[Quote] | ||
