colour whole screen with background instead of just the text

[landfillbaby]

i figured out a way to do it reliably using the "Erase in Line" control code but i've currently only implemented it as a standalone C program in my fork
need help on how to implement it as an option in the C++ version
i think maybe #31 should be merged first and renamed from "background" to "highlighting", or maybe just completely dropped if implementing both in 1 program gets too complicated

Unfortunately, urxvt doesn't redraw the background colour after the text when resizing the window :(

[landfillbaby]

oh yeah, there's not really any good way to do that without using an external library to redraw everything

[obfusk]

Bad choice of words: I meant it doesn't redraw the existing colours after the \n.
No terminal will "extend" the lines when resizing. Which is less of an issue.

[landfillbaby]

oh, i see. oh well!!

[landfillbaby]

i guess i should close this then?

I think this is a bug in urxvt; xterm seems fine.

[landfillbaby]

if xterm supports it that's good enough for me

[landfillbaby]

wait, maybe it's because i originally used \033[2K and that's what you implemented too
i've since changed it to just \033[K, maybe you could try that on urxvt?

[obfusk]

I already tried both.

[landfillbaby]

oh ok. well at least it works on xterm
