After I loaded the tc-maxx scheme, Aspell displayed its text in tc-maxx blue. So far, so good. But then I changed the text color to green and saved the palette under a new name, IBMgreen. This new color scheme does indeed take effect whenever I open ConEmu. (And I can see the settings for IBMgreen when I open ConEmu.xml in a text editor.) BUT -- if I run Aspell, the text color ALWAYS reverts to tc-maxx blue! This happens whether I launch Aspell from frame ASPL, from a cmd.exe window, or from ConEmu itself. What's more, if I load a different ConEmu palette, with bright text, Aspell adopts that text color. But when I revert to IBMgreen, Aspell goes back to tc-maxx blue. I think you're right that Aspell tries to force white text on a black background and that the ConEmu color scheme sometimes stymies it. But if this mysterious process obeys any rules, I can't begin to describe them. But I'm glad that you were able to able to tame the beast to your satisfaction. -- Carl Distefano cld@xxxxxxxxxx
