Hi, Bob,

thanks for the quick response.

Yes, I might be.  This is what I'm gonna do:  If I manage to
check out the SVN version (time is the limiting factor here),
then I'll ask for dos and don'ts and try to come up with
something useful.

Yes, it was even the same window, I used a different window to
compile 0.6.3 and restarted cgdb in the first; what was black BG
first became white BG now.  I'm using eXceed xterms which show a
linux shell, and remote-display that through Cytrix.  If I am not
mistaken, than cgdb sees the Hummingbird eXceed terminal emulation
in this setup.  The separator switches from black to blue if I
activate the source window, but is not bold.  The current line
number in the middle of the screen when I scroll is also not bold.
The active line (green arrow), the red breakpoint line numbers,
and fixed strings and much more in C style syntax highlight are
bold, though.  I can see the statement "return" colored in
bold blue.  There must be subtle difference somewhere...

If you think this is no longer a "users" thread, pls. answer on
"devel".


Thanks for the support!
