[nos-bbs] JNOS terminal colors

[Sky]

I tried -y0+7 just now and it did nothing. Had tried the -w -x -y -z options a long time ago. None of them did anything at all.

Yes, this is Raspbian OS on Raspberry Pi4.

It is not necessary to set the colors if I can get JNOS to leave the colors alone -- i.e.. use the colors I have set by Terminal to use.

Yes, John, the problem is these little goofy 7-inch HDMI displays. They cannot handle it when one part of the window is white-on-black and another part is black-on-white. One will look great and the other will be either too contrasty to read or practically invisible. On my high-resolution retina displays via VNC it's all fine, but for emergency operation I need to drive a tiny, low-power physical display, and for legibility they require that the entire display be similar in contrast.

My fingers are crossed that this is fixable.
