This doesn't work any longer, the bug is tracked in bnc #768112 - yast2-qt high contrast mode broken. I will check how the mode can be set for ncurses during installation. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Typing into a command line is not intuitive and requires user to be confident enough to go in and edit files. Additionally, we'd have to go back and forth into the file until we find the mode that works best for us. I would prefer a toggle function within ncurses-yast instead that allows us to toggle through the differnet color options until we find one satisfactory for ourselves. Additionally, a user would have to know how to call up a text editor in the first place. Which editor is available during installation process? What they may already be familiar with may not be available in installation process yet. VI? Emacs? Pico? For the record, my ncurses-yast has been set for a while now to rxvt. But even though it is described as using a black background, it is actually using a grey background, so the conversion isn't optimal. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I ust did a quick check of installation in virtualbox by switching to text mode with ncurses-yast visible. Then I did Alt+F1 to switch to terminal and saw there is not yet have /etc/sysconfig/yast so it would appear there is no way to configure color settings during installation of openSUSE. The color mode can be set as boot option 'Y2NCURSES_COLOR_THEME' on the kernel command line at the very begin of the installation (available values are: xterm, linux, rxvt, mono, inverted, highcontrast), for an example see screenshot in attachment.

As a side note, when I'm in graphical mode, if I expand my virtualbox window, the GUI installer expands with it to keep fit in window. But ncurses-yast does not do that. It remains a small view even with window expanded. Is this a bug? I cannot reproduce this with the VirtualBox on my system, the text mode window is quite as big as the graphical.

F3 already offers Textmode. This menu entry can be expanded by a sub menu which offers the available modes. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
