Getting closer! As I mentioned, Properties has no settings for
inverse-video and bold colors (I assume you mean the colors of bold
fonts) did not help, but ... :
(In combination with "tput smso",) I get black for \e[00;30m and white
for \e[01;30m (remember that my 'DOS' window is black-on-white, so
opposite from a normal Cygwin bash window). So with these kinds of
escape sequences I *do* seem to have some kind of control over the
colors, I just do not have the *right* colors yet.
Is there a place where all these (I assume ANSI) escape sequences for
colors are listed? When I have that information, I can probably untic an
existing terminfo entry, modify it and tic it back to another name and
use that.
