| |
I hope this question makes since to someone. We have a custom application that uses what we have been calling high intensity background colors. It's what in DOS happens when you turn off blink mode. Another example of where it works is if you use Powerterm in vt420 mode, you can achieve these colors by turning off blink. The line that would be blinking in our app then becomes a more defined color.
Anyways, I'd like to use linux boxs as the dumb terminal to this application (which also runs on a linux box), however I can't seem to make high intensity background colors work on the linux console. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? I can post the color sequences I do know about as well as where these sequences would be on a relisys tube for comparison if that would help.
Thanks for any assistance!
