Color Terminal screens and ssh revisited yet again
Authored by: capacity on Nov 13, '07 02:27:52PM
This script broke under 10.5 for me because the RGB values for "special" colors have apparently changed in Terminal.app. I used colorwrap.sh getcolor to re-get my colors and set the new values in colorwrap.sh and almost everything is back to normal.

However, I cannot get window background color to go partially transparent using a negative value as the 4th color argument as described in this hint (e.g., {57212, 56949, 40762, -5000}), so whenever I ssh to a host my window goes completely opaque (but I can't say I remember if this worked under 10.4.x or not...).

Also, I can't figure out why the echo command now (under 10.5) prints the -n -e flags when it didn't used to. I removed them, and despite their apparent necessity from checking out the man page (or at least the need for -n, not sure what the -e is for), colorwrap.sh seems to still function normally. Maybe printf should be used instead.
