After that you can put: # # - 0 - default window color (discards all other colors) # - 1 - black # - 2 - red # - 3 - green # - 4 - yellow # - 5 - blue # - 6 - magenta # - 7 - cyan # - 8 - white # - 9 - end of current color # - b - bold text # - u - underline text # - r - reverse colors # - a - use alternative character set # # If you don't want to use a non-color attribute anymore, just put it # again, but this time insert character '/' between '$' and attribute # character, e.g. {$b%t$/b}|{$r%f$/r} will display bolded title tag # or filename with reversed colors. # # If you want to use 256 colors and/or background colors in formats # (the naming scheme is described below in section about color # definitions), it can be done with the syntax $(COLOR), e.g. to set # the artist tag to one of the non-standard colors and make it have # yellow background, you need to write $(197_yellow)%a$(end).
