----------------mail sent to konsole-devel@kde.org ------------------

Hi.

When I do "man man", how can I get the underlined text to be colored,
when using Konsole?
I've managed to find the place in the Konsole settings where I can
change the color for bold text, but not for underlined text.

I have been looking for it in google but... :-(

Thanks.

P.D.: in xterm it is possible (in .Xdefaults):

XTerm.VT100*colorULMode: on
XTerm.VT100*underLine: off
XTerm*VT100*colorUL: magenta

XTerm*VT100*colorBDMode: on
XTerm*VT100*colorBD: blue

Hi,
 Please make a wish on bugs.kde.org.  It won't be forgotten that way... 
currently I'm not aware if this is possible.
  Regards,
   Kurt

Subject: Re: [Konsole-devel] color text instead of underline?

Hello,

Konsole doesn't provide any facility to do this currently, I suggest
filing a bug report on bugs.kde.org

Regards,
Robert.

If I understand it correctly, those xterm options allow users to control the semantic of the underline attribute: 

   * draw text together with underline 
   * draw text using the different color specified by user, but no underline

Although I generally do not care about how the underline  atribute is processed, I myself prefer the rxvt-unicode way, which allows users to control the color used for drawing the underline itself.

Adds 6 new profile properties for enabling/disabling and optionally coloring bolded and underlined text.

Here's a braindead patch to get things started.  It just changes the way the bold and underline rendition flags are handled.  To test it out add something like the following to your profile

[Appearance]
EnableUnderline=false
ColorUnderlineMode=true
UnderlineColor=blue
ColorBoldMode=true
BoldColor=red
EnableBold=true
