COLOR SETTINGS

To use colors other than the defaults, you need a file called ~/.config/wikicurses/colors. To create this file with the current color settings, run wikicurses --dumpcolors. This is a configuration file containing various things that can be colored. Each has allows setting display settings (bold, underline, or standout), foreground color, background color, and text alignment. Multiple settings can be set by separating with spaces. The color options are the same as in urwid (see http://urwid.org/manual/displayattributes.html).
