What is the result of my proposed ESC- sequence on your linux system's virtual consoles? And, what terminal emulator do you use?
On my consoles, above gives a brilliant white while my lxterminal doesn't accept the command.

Hi RudiC...
It doesn't work on OSX 10.7.5, default bash terminal...
Code:

Rudi, it does nothing on my Linux system. Tried the "Konsole" as well as an xterm.

My system is a KDE build, and the default terminal emulator is "konsole".

Too bad. Sorry.

Btw, I was not talking of the KDE- "Konsole", but of the virtual consoles that you can switch to with the <Alt>-Fn keys (evtl. <Ctrl><Alt>Fn).

Perhaps there is something to be had using virtual consoles, but the application I am developing will always want to be run in a user's default environment. Making ncurses work as I wish in that environment is the purpose of this thread.

Sadly it looks as though ncurses has a limitation and having never coded fo it then I(/we) are probably not going to be able to find a solution at this point.

I will pursue a little further but I don't envisage a solution any time soon.

If you do find one please upload your findings for the greater good...

Humble apologies...

Is there an infocmp entry for your terminal type, or is curses using a generic database entry for your terminal? (What output do you get from infocmp?) Look for man pages for infocmp and tic.
