Font color similar to background

[DL7AD]

On Linux the background color on terminals is almost the same than the colors used for the fonts which makes it unreadable.

A work-around is to use the "-t 0" command line option to disable text color.

See comments in textcolor.c for more discussion of this issue.

FYI, I encountered the same issue, wanting the multiple colors but a black background.
Since I was building from the source I swapped the color code of black and white in the textcolor.c file. Looks nice now.

Text color handling had a major overhaul in the "dev" branch in preparation for release 1.6. it now works better with more terminal types. Please give it a try and let me know how it works for you.

How do i use the "-t 0" switch in the windows version of Direwolf (the text colours on the screen are a problem)

I've tried modifying the direwolf.exe filename to include the switch as previously suggested, but windows then doesn't know how to handle the file. Where am I going wrong please?

Thank you - Tim.
