Recently I upgraded my laptop (a Lenovo T410) from Jessie to Stretch.
I almost have everything working again, but something puzzling (and
irritating) has happened to slrn. All the colours have been softened;
it's as if everything has been replaced with pastels. Even white text
on a black background has faded - it's now light gray text on a dark
gray background. When I go to post or reply to a message, vim comes
up and the screen snaps back to a crisp black and white, only to revert
to washed-out colours when I return to slrn. Everything else (e.g.
console windows) is OK - it's just slrn which is affected.
My .slrnrc is unchanged. What has happened to my colours? And more
importantly, how do I get them back to where they were?
What terminal program are you using? Is the behavior the same if you
fire up slrn in xterm, rxvt, and gnome-terminal? (to pick three
wildly different code bases)
