Wc3270/Colors

Description
wc3270 colors are configured by resources and by the Colors properties of the Windows Console that it runs on.

The resources map host colors to Windows Console colors. Windows console colors do not have names; they are just enumerated 0 through 15.

To change how a particular host color is displayed, you can change the mapping of a host color to a Windows Console color, or you can change the RGB values that define how a particular console color is displayed, or both.

Resources
There are two sets of resources that control color mapping.

The first are used when the host does not specify a color for a particular field. In that case, the color is determined by the field attributes:

The value for each of the above resources is a host color. The mapping of host colors to Windows Console colors is defined by these resources:
