ELinks can be compiled also to support TRUE COLOR - but currently the only terminal supporting that, with it's own codes, is Konsole. Screen handling of ELinks seems to be hardcoded, not respecting much terminfo/TERMCAP, but many applications (no matter what terminal you are on, if it takes XTerm codes) run in 256 color mode if you set export TERM=xterm-256color. variable) it can also be set manually to 256 color mode. Elinks is one of them, and while it can be configured to have different terminal settings for different terminals (according to TERM env. HOWEVER, screen is, and it also understands when application tries using XTerm 256 color escape codes, so starting screen with "TERM=fbterm screen" (or just "screen" if you already ran the export command above) and running elinks inside that will give you those nice 256 colors XTerm provides with screen in between interprepting the escape codes according to fbterm terminfo data.ītw, ETerm should very much support 256 colors too.Īlso some programs, those not coded properly to act according to terminfo (or TERMCAP, if such environment variable is set) to get available color count and codes to change it usually default to xterm codes - most terminals also abide them (though not, for example, fbterm, like I said). However the escape codes are different - for applications that are written properly enough it should be enough that you start fbterm and run "export TERM="fbterm", but elinks is not one of them.

Most of them don't need to be set up to use them and most use the xterm 256-color escape codes to set color, but for example rxvt originally supported 88 colors, which included and RGB space of 4*4*4 (where 256 color ones have 6*6*6), so an extra parameter or setting might be needed.Īlso, linux console don't support 256 colors, but if you're running a framebuffer then you could try fbterm - it's like X Windows terminal emulators, but for linux console framebuffer, and it supports 256 colors.
Here's a partial list of terminals that do support 256 colors
