           Summary: please support direct 24-bit color specifications in
                    escape sequences
           Product: konsole

          Platform: Fedora RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: iler.ml gmail com


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.3)

Compiler:          gcc 4.0.2 
OS:                Linux

urxvt supports 24-bit color in escape sequences, not limited to
256-subset palette. And ut supports all x11 standard color 
specifications in escape sequences (rgb:,#ff00ff,color names). 
This is nice. Can konsole support this, too, not necessarily
via same escape sequence ?

Giving excerpt from urxvt doc [1], here are relevant urxvt escape 
sequences which accept x11 color specs are:
      "ESC ] Ps;Pt ST"
           Set XTerm Parameters. 8-bit ST: 0x9c, 7-bit ST sequence: ESC \
           (0x1b, 0x5c), backwards compatible terminator BEL (0x07) is also
           accepted. any octet can be escaped by prefixing it with SYN (0x16,
           ^V)....
       Ps = 10    Change colour of text foreground to Pt
       Ps = 11    Change colour of text background to Pt
       Ps = 12    Change colour of text cursor foreground to Pt
Actually, it looks that in urxvt, all sequences tha deal with
color, accept x11 color specs.
