380	About colors schemes (skins)	slavazanko	slavazanko	"This just my thinks. We need to make simple work with color schemas in mc.
All following examples (commands out) just for simple understanding, not real :)
For example:
{{{
$ ls /usr/share/mc/skins
standart.ini b&w.ini dark.ini
}}}
in ~/.mc/ini file:
{{{
[Midnight Commander]
...
skin=standart.ini
...
}}}
But user may customize color scheme:
{{{
[Midnight Commander]
...
skin=~/.mc/skin/my_own_skin.ini
...
}}}
 * if basename(skin) == skin, then file will be get from /usr/share/mc/skins directory.
Example of skin-file:
{{{
[skin]
     name=Standart skin
[core]
    _default_=lightgray;blue
    normal=;
    selected=black;cyan
    marked=yellow;blue
    ...
[files]
    coredump=yellow;red
    temp=gray;
    archive=brightmagenta;
    source=cyan;
    media=green;
    graph=brightcyan;
    database=brightred;
    ...
[viewer]
    ...
[editor]
    normal=lightgray;blue
    bold=yellow;blue
    marked=black;cyan
    whitespace=brightblue;blue
    ...
}}}
 * Parameter '_default_' may be present in any section and MUST be present in [core] section;
 * Value of '_default_' parameter in [core] section MUST contain definition of two colors: foreground and background. In other sections value of this parameter MAY contain definition of two colors;
 * If parameter '_default_' is absent in current section, then this parameter will be taken from [core] section;
 * If some color in color pair don't specified, then this color will be taken from '_default_' parameter in current section;
 * section name '[skin]' must be reserved for internal usage. All other section names will free for use (relative to source code).
Is this good idea?
