I used the ANSI colour in world configuration to change the background colour (BLACK) to something different, and also added the colour file to the defaults in Global preferences.
But the compile error messages retain the black background,
also the URLs in the welcome message:

have black background.

My main issue is with the compile error messages. Is there a way to change their background colour to the one i want?

I assume you mean error messages that show when there's a problem with your scripts?

These are, to be fair, supposed to be rare events. It is sort of a "development" thing. I didn't really expect people to want to theme Lua error messages into the MUD colour scheme.

It looks like those colours are hard coded into the source:


#define SCRIPTERRORFORECOLOUR "orangered"  // "darkorange"
#define SCRIPTERRORBACKCOLOUR "black"
#define SCRIPTERRORCONTEXTFORECOLOUR "burlywood"

...

    pDoc->ColourNote (SCRIPTERRORFORECOLOUR, SCRIPTERRORBACKCOLOUR, strEvent);
    pDoc->ColourNote (SCRIPTERRORFORECOLOUR, SCRIPTERRORBACKCOLOUR, dlg.m_strRaisedBy);
    pDoc->ColourNote (SCRIPTERRORFORECOLOUR, SCRIPTERRORBACKCOLOUR, dlg.m_strCalledBy);
    pDoc->ColourNote (SCRIPTERRORFORECOLOUR, SCRIPTERRORBACKCOLOUR, dlg.m_strDescription);

Just wanted to understand what's causing this, It's really not a biggie.
Thanks for the reply!
