Question: Is there a way to theme sngrep?

[Janik-Haag]

I was wondering if there is a way to theme sngrep because the cyan is quite hard to read in my terminal. I couldn't find anything in the faq and the config section, that's why I opend this issue.

Hi @Janik-Haag

Sadly there is no configuration that can be done to change colors. They are initialized in the code, so you can change COLOR_CYAN for other ncurses color here if you're willing to use a compiled version.

sngrep/src/curses/ui_manager.c

Lines 126 to 143 in ae8e0a4

	// Initialize colorpairs
	init_pair(CP_CYAN_ON_DEF, COLOR_CYAN, bg);
	init_pair(CP_YELLOW_ON_DEF, COLOR_YELLOW, bg);
	init_pair(CP_MAGENTA_ON_DEF, COLOR_MAGENTA, bg);
	init_pair(CP_GREEN_ON_DEF, COLOR_GREEN, bg);
	init_pair(CP_RED_ON_DEF, COLOR_RED, bg);
	init_pair(CP_BLUE_ON_DEF, COLOR_BLUE, bg);
	init_pair(CP_WHITE_ON_DEF, COLOR_WHITE, bg);
	init_pair(CP_DEF_ON_CYAN, fg, COLOR_CYAN);
	init_pair(CP_DEF_ON_BLUE, fg, COLOR_BLUE);
	init_pair(CP_WHITE_ON_BLUE, COLOR_WHITE, COLOR_BLUE);
	init_pair(CP_BLACK_ON_CYAN, COLOR_BLACK, COLOR_CYAN);
	init_pair(CP_WHITE_ON_CYAN, COLOR_WHITE, COLOR_CYAN);
	init_pair(CP_YELLOW_ON_CYAN, COLOR_YELLOW, COLOR_CYAN);
	init_pair(CP_BLUE_ON_CYAN, COLOR_BLUE, COLOR_CYAN);
	init_pair(CP_BLUE_ON_WHITE, COLOR_BLUE, COLOR_WHITE);
	init_pair(CP_CYAN_ON_WHITE, COLOR_CYAN, COLOR_WHITE);
	init_pair(CP_CYAN_ON_BLACK, COLOR_CYAN, COLOR_BLACK);

Regards!

Would you accept a PR making this configurable? Then I might spend some time on this ^^

Sure, PRs are always welcome! Even more when makes things more configurable!
