ncurses background color
|
|

| Users have different background colors in their xterm. How can my
ncurses program determine the background color so that I can set my
color_pairs to have the users default background?

You cannot determine it - but you can call use_default_colors() and
use the related extension for init_pair(), e.g., set the color to -1.
