How to change background color of mcedit editor?

Question

linux

In certain lighting conditions, some of the default colors are not visible at all. Got into ~./config/mc/mcedit/ settings and found an empty directory. searching the Internet about this also did not give anything - everyone easily changes colors for mc, but something for mcedit did not come across.
Does anyone know about this issue?

Answer 1

Here is an example of launching with a changed palette:

mcedit -C "editnormal=lightgray,black:editbold=yellow,black:editmarked=black,cyan"

Optional :
Can be configured in ~/.config/mc/ini

[Colors]
base_color=editnormal=lightgray,black:editbold=yellow,black:editmarked=black,cyan

Answer 2

mc --help-color
it will be immediately clear

Answer 3

If "mc --version" > 4.7.6 then you can very easily screw on the 256-color scheme:
Download the skin, for example, from here:
http://www.midnight-commander.org/attachment/ticket/2469/xoria256.ini ,
put it in ~/.config/mc/skins (or in ~/.mc/skins), and run mc with the
TERM command, you can write it in .profile, the skin in ~/.config/mc/ini, then everything will be by default

Answer 4

The manual for mcedit says something, here for example: http://pwet.fr/man/linux/commandes/mcedit
In the Syntax Highlighting and Color sections.
It looks like there are no more special features.

Answer 5

Maybe just adjust the colors in the terminal emulator?

Answer 6

An even simpler option:
F9 → Options → A ppearance and in the window that opens, choose the appearance from more than twenty available
