2173	Warn if 256 colors are used but not available	egmont		"This is the last bit I just did not have time and passion to add to the 256-color patch (ticket #2169).

If 256 colors are not available according to $TERM (ncurses: NCOLORS; slang: I don't know), but the requested color scheme would use any of these extended colors, currently some weird magic happens that is totally not user friendly (you end up with ugly or even unusable colors). Instead, mc could revert to the default skin (or keep the current one if dynamically changing: ticket #2165), and show an error message explaining to the user what happened."	enhancement	closed	minor	4.8.0-pre1	mc-tty	master	fixed
