NCURSES_EXT_COLORS - see python
https://bugs.python.org/issue36982
"A new function called curses.has_extended_color_support() will indicate whether the linked ncurses library provides extended color support. It returns true if curses.h defines NCURSES_EXT_COLORS and NCURSES_EXT_FUNCS, indicating that the extended color functions are available. This seems more useful to developers than using an indirect method like trying to set a color-pair greater than 0x7fff and checking for an exception to indicate lack of support."
Would this make sense to add for ruby too? E. g. a method such as:
Curses.has_extended_color_support?
I'd love to be able to use more than 8 colours via ncurses. In particular the html-colours:
https://htmlcolorcodes.com/colors/
I could then add this to my gem e. g.
CursesParadise.steelblue("Hello world!\n")
As easier alternative.
Hmm. I got it to work simply by modifying TERM.
One can set it to xterm-256color.
Perhaps the documentation can mention this.
