Colors

  • When modifying the palette via init_color(), this only affects the normal form of the color. Using A_BOLD with the color, for instance, will not reflect palette changes.
  • Modifying the palette requires a terminal that supports it, like "linux" or "xterm-256color"
    • The latter can be had from the ncurses-term package on Debian.
  • ncurses will need have been compiled with --enable-ext-colors

Unicode

  • You need use ncursesw, which ought have been built with --enable-widec
  • _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED must be #defined prior to including any ncurses headers (use -D_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED with gcc)
  • setlocale() needs have been called prior to calling any ncurses functions
    • ncurses assumes that the locale does not change once started
