    Is there any easy way I can emulate the following ...

       ·   status_color bg_blue+white
       ·   help_color bg_blue+white
       ·   menu_color bg_blue+white
       ·   prompt_color bg_blue+white
       ·   msg_color bg_blue+white
    

    into the new "Colors theme" settings? I just like white on black for the main screen and white on blue for the various menus and prompts.

    I understand that this is done in the /usr/share/joe/colors directory, but I'm not sure how to change "help_color" (as one example) in these .jcf files.

    Thanks for any pointers.

    EDIT:

    I think I figured it out. At least I'm close. In the default.jcf file I gave it the following settings ...

    -selection blue/white
    -menusel blue/white
    -menu white/blue
    -linum default dim
    -curlinum blue/white
    -status blue/white
    -prompt blue/white

    Not exactly the same, but really close to what I had. "menu" was the key (and also "prompt").

    Rob, sorry I got here late. You mention that you're only close. Were there any other specifics you wanted to know?

    (You probably found this already, but here's the manual section)
