I'm testing out NRb8 on Linux for the first time. It looks Great!
But it still has the big blocky cursor. Any chance of being able to configure that to something else?

I was going to jump in to argue, but then realized that I'm not using it on Linux. It does indeed have a blinking underscore for the cursor on Windows, though.. and I didn't see any kind of configuration option for it.

does mystic have a place to config the cursor? it is a big blue box on
the raspi and i have been looking for a place to change it with no
luck..

I'm not certain of that one. I took a quick glance in the theme editor where you can ghange your password echo, file tag, new message and new vote highlight characters, but didn't seen anything in regards to a cursor. It may be specific to the terminal program you're using?

i was just laumchimg it via sudo ./mystic and it had the blue block cursor. also when i syncterm into it, it is the same.

Where are you referring to exactly? Where you input your name and password? Or the cursor after your pause prompt? Or...

Well in that case, you can look in one of two places. In your theme editor, check that both input fields do not have a blue background (I believe they come with it default). That's probably where it is, since
you most likely don't have a blue background set after your username prompt or menu prompt using pipe codes.

it is a big yellow block over here when reading messages... right now, while creating this message, it is a big cyan block... it seems to get
the last color set by whatever code... in the index reader, it is
yellow and sitting on the left hand end of the bottom blue single line border...

Should make the input characters bright white. If it has a background color even though one wasn't specified in the prompt, that probably has something to do with the input field characters in the theme editor.
If that's indeed true, I don't think Mystic has ever reset colors to anything "default" in a prompt. If you want an input character to be a color, you have to specify it in the prompt, ie (pipes substituted with !):
i do not think what is being refered to is a mystic thing at all. in my case i am referimg to where the cursor lands on each screen.

the color and position of the block cursor come from the remote system we're logged into... in this case, that's a mystic bbs... i see the
same thing when i log into my RemoteAccess BBS...
the shape of the cursor comes from the terminal software... in this
case, netrunner v2.00b8...

Oh. Well in that case, it's not Mystic's fault then? :)
What are you using on your iPad to post? Are you ssh'd in? Or are you using some kind of terminal program that doesn't support CP437 properly?
For one, you're still using A57. I cannot vouch for what happens in that alpha since there's a full release out now.
One question, since it looks like you're on Linux using Netrunner, do you *always* have a block rather than a blinking underscore? If so, I think I
remember something about that being fixed in Windows versions, but not Linux versions. I'm using Netrunner in Windows since I don't have a GUI
on any of my *nix setups. BUT, the color is not of Mystic's choice. That is up to you to decide in the prompts and the templates you're creating.
If you ALWAYS have a block instead of a blinking underscore in Linux,
then where you added the Curr, High stuff.. the last character on that line there is bright yellow. Add a !07 after that or whatever you want your color to be and it will most likely change).
the shape of the cursor comes from the terminal software... in this case, netrunner v2.00b8...
On Linux. I remember this being an issue in the past. Try Netrunner b8
on one of your Windows boxen and see if the block character changes to a blinking underscore (as it is showing for me here). The block may have never been fixed in the Linux version.
the bbs cannot set the cursor shape on the remote terminal end... the version of mystic doesn't come into play in this scenario... i get the same blinking block cursor when i connect to my RemoteAccess system
from netrunner 2b8-linux...

eeeerrrrmmmm... we're wanting to change the color of the /block/ not
what comes after it... i/we would rather that the block be an
underscore or not even visible, really, until it is in an input
field...
i will try to do that... i've gotta get some time to get on my laptop
and do some much needed chores on it... since my christmas present arrived, i've been busy as hell on it and other projects are starting
to lag behind... i haven't read email in 4 days and i really gotta transfer all that from my laptop to the beast where i'm spending most
all of my time now...
If you were to add a !07 (or even !00 if you don't want it visible)
after you set your Curr/High numbers with !14 (as seen on your dropbox pictures), it will change the color of the block. However, it will not change the fact that it's a block and not an underscore.. but it can be removed with !00 or possibly even !16.

i'd give the !00 a try but i don't even know where i would put it in
the template stuff for the message reader, the message index or other similar screens... i/we want it blinking at the prompt as an indicator that it is awaiting input... i forget where else it shows up... where
ever we put the code, it has to be the last color change for that instance...

That is exactly the behavior I get when using NR on my linux desktop. I think that is what I originally reported in this thread. I'm going to go
out on a limb and suggest it is an SDL thing, and not a netrunner, nor
mystic thing.
The block not being an underscore is separate from the actual color of the block/underscore.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Did you (or whoever) not add the Curr and High msg numbers in bright yellow on the bottom right part of the screen? That is where the color
of the block has been set to bright yellow. I don't believe I have those on my default ansimrd.ans so it led me to believe that part of the template was modified.
But the fact that it is a block for a cursor probably has to be
addressed by g00r00,
and might only be specific to the Linux version of
Netrunner (due to an SDL problem maybe? Dunno..).

Umm, that is just the default that netrunner has setup. It has nothing
to do with SDL, a specific bbs software, terminal or anything else. I'm sure g00r00 will change it when he feels like it. :)

Ok, I'll tend to agree with that. Syncterm on linux uses sdl too, and
it doesn't have that block cursor.

I think the main point there is that it has already been addressed for
the Windows version.
indeed it has :), surprised it's not the same all around, but only he knows how his builds are setup. ;)

Welp, if your telnet program uses an underscore in the Linux version, at least we know it can be fixed! :)
I use an underscore, in all environments, but thats becasue i created
the pixels to do an underscore. It's whatever pixels you setup to represent the cursor, there is no cursor per-se, it's all pixels just
like each character it's manually coded to display as such. anything
can be fixed or change to however the designer chooses.

Then I have no idea why there's a block there. I never figured g00 would choose to go that route originally, but whatever.
Apparantly the alt/beep thing as well as the click the title bar to
refocus the window seems to want to start highlighting stuff to copy to
the clipboard - are unfixable at the moment until they update SDL2 to
handle these?
Regards,
As for the title bar clicking, that is an SDL issue. The SDL team
will have to rework and fix the problem. The problem is casued by the mouse click registering a BUTTON_DOWN event when a click happens on
the title bar, however it never does a BUTTON_UP event on the release. This casues the system to believe the button is being held down until
the next mouse click and release is done on the actual canvas / inside
of the window.
