Wyrd on black-on-white terminal
hi, has anyone got a colorscheme of wyrd which is usable on a black text on white background terminal? I played with the color options, but some parts still remain with a black background? Also when specifiying 'white' I don't get a real white but a (very) light gray. Is this a .Xdefaults issue, or is 'white' hardcoded to some gray value in wyrd? regards, -- -- Martin Stubenschrott

Yeah, looks like I completely screwed up some of the coloring code. I'll see what I can do about that for the next release. > Also when specifiying 'white' I don't get a real white but a (very) light > gray.

'white' should be a reference to the standard white color for the terminal, which you ought to be able to override in .Xdefaults. It will be less intense than the 'bold white' color, so text that is not highlighted may end up looking a bit gray. Paul

Ah, now I see, your white refers to 'color7' in .Xdefaults, not to color0 as I thought. -- -- Martin Stubenschrott

Is there a chance to also specify the 'foreground' and 'background' colors in the colorsettings? Or some setting like 'transparent', that a specific item is just colored with the default background color of the term? This would also enable people who like fake transparent terminals (not that I like it) to see their wallpaper. -- -- Martin Stubenschrott

Periodic Reminders Using Omits
Our school uses a 6 day repeating schedule. I would like to create a reminder of what day it is. I need to omit weekends and specified school holidays. I tried something like
omit 5 sep #labour day
rem 31 aug 2005 skip *8 msg day 1
rem 01 sep 2005 skip *8 msg day 2
etc.
With the hopes that the next day 1 would occur on sep 9. I would much rather just omit weekends instead of using an 8 day cycle because it won't always work, but I could get that to work either. Any suggestions. BTW I am a first time poster, so please be patient if there is an answer in the archives. I couldn't find it.

I'll Play with this and see what I can do, but it might be some time befor I get it figured out. On 3/20/06, Jason Stein <jason_t_stein@...> wrote: > > Our school uses a 6 day repeating schedule.

reminding of late events
I just ran across Mike Soulier's post in the remind-friends archive and
thought my solution might be useful.
First define:
FSET float(y,m,d) trigger(MAX(realtoday(), date(y,m,d)))
FSET due(y,m,d) "(" + (date(y,m,d)-trigdate()) + ")"
REM [float(2006,4,1)] MSG File tax return [due(2006,4,15)]%
On or before April 1, the calendar for April 1 (only) will then display
File tax return (14)
and on or after April 2, the calendar for the current date (only) will display
File tax return (d)
where d is the number of days remaining before April 15, e.g.
on April 13: File tax return (2)
on April 18: File tax return (-3)
Note that the reminder never appears on more than one date so it
won't clutter up your calendar.

My current belief is that there is no (reasonable) way to do this.
The only conceivable algorithm for laying out the calendar properly is
to scan through every date in your school calendar one-by-one, skipping
weekends and holidays as you go, and keeping track of a count of days.
Remind offers a SCANFROM option, which looks promising at first, but the
syntax for expressions doesn't seem to provide a way to do any extra
computation or manipulation of state variables while that scan is being
performed.
The lack of looping constructs doesn't help either.
I did manage to get this far:
# globally omit whatever holidays you want
OMIT 1 Jan
OMIT 10 Mar
# initialize the counter
IF !defined("daycount")
SET daycount 1
PRESERVE daycount
ENDIF
# the counter loops through a six day rotation
FSET _next_day(x) choose(x, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 1)
# every day after Jan 1 could be a candidate for triggering, but
# omits get skipped
IFTRIG Jan 1 2006 *1 SKIP OMIT Sat Sun
REM [trigdate()] MSG "Day [daycount]"
SET daycount _next_day(daycount)
ENDIF
This will work *only* if you force remind to scan through a complete
block of days starting on some date at or before the start of the
semester, e.g. "rem -s3 Jan 1 2006" or "rem Jan 1 2006 *90".
Best I can do, maybe this will inspire someone else to come up with a
solution. If not, I think you're stuck doing the work yourself, and
writing down a different REM statement for each day. (Or if you're
clever, you can probably use a variation on the above script to print
out a few months worth of REM statements for you.)
