Hi John,
You can set the following (in [render] section) to replicate the vDosPlus color settings in
DOSBox-X:
ttf.colors=#C6CED3 #0000aa #000000 #00aaaa #aa0000 #aa00aa #aa5500 #aaaaaa #555555 #5555ff #55ff55
#55ffff #ff5555 #ff55ff #ffff55 #ffffff
And this is the result screen I get in DOSBox-X 0.83.8:
If I set "COLORS = #C6CED3 #0000aa #000000 #00aaaa #aa0000 #aa00aa #aa5500 #aaaaaa #555555
#5555ff #55ff55 #55ffff #ff5555 #ff55ff #ffff55 #ffffff" in config.txt for vDosPlus, then I get
the similar screen:
Hope this helps.

Wengier,
Forgive me for inquiring over what must have already covered in your exchanges with Harry B., but
I'm trying to replicate vodosplus color settings in dosbox. To wit:
COLORS = #C6CED3 #0000aa #000000 #00aaaa #aa0000 #aa00aa #aa5500 #aaaaaa #555555 #5555ff #55ff55
#55ffff #ff5555 #ff55ff #ffff55 #ffffff
The result of this (and other settings?; I've forgotten) is black text on an off-white
background. And once again, thanks for all your efforts.

Hi all,
The latest version of DOSBox-X (0.83.8) is now
officially released. As a cross-platform DOS emulator,
there are quite a few improvements in this new release
compared with the previous version 0.83.7, such as support for TrueType font (TTF) output and
on-screen text styles, support for ARM-based M1 Mac and macOS 11 Big Sur, clipboard pasting in
macOS SDL1 builds, selectable host keys from the menu (Ctrl+Alt, Ctrl+Shift, etc), enhanced
MODE command to change screen dimensions, and many more. You can find the DOSBox-X 0.83.8 release
notes here:
https://dosbox-x.com/release-0.83.8.html
Windows installer and Linux Flatpak packages are officially available to ease
the installation, in addition to other packages including portable packages for
Windows, macOS and DOS. You will find the official downloads for them from the
DOSBox-X homepage:
https://dosbox-x.com/
Direct download to the Windows installer
(many thanks to Edward Mendelson for code-signing it):
dosbox-x-windows-0.83.8-setup.exe
And the official Linux Flatpak package is available from the DOSBox-X Flathub page:
https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.dosbox_x.DOSBox-X
As for macOS, there are now portable packages for both the Intel-based Mac and the new ARM-based
Mac. You can find them from the DOSBox-X homepage.
Please check out the new release.
Note: Please set "output=ttf" (and optionally a TTF font of your choice with ttf.font
option) for the TrueType font output. There are many cleanups since the test version I posted
earlier. For the on-screen text style feature, please set "ttf.wp=XY" or
"ttf.wp=XY4" for XyWrite. Also, as with the previous version you probably
want to set "core=dynamic" and "cycles=max" in the config file (dosbox-x.conf) for
speed.
Thanks a lot for your support!
Sincerely,Wengier
