Apparently only those in the inner sanctum are allowed the ask coding questions in the lounge
The only way you find out if you are in the inner sanctum is by asking a coding question.
Apparently those who are not never get to ask again - Mwahahahahah!
I have not yet decided to test if I am in the inner sanctum, hence why I am still here.

On more serious note - it seems you mixed the values...
After the type (error, warning) the first value is indicating a style, than a semicolon (;) followed by a color code (or combination)...
It seems you switched the order...

Thanks, I'll try.
Why do GNU-folks not obey the KISS principle. Like a gcc.cfg with:
color.error = bright white on bright red
color.warning = yellow on bright blue
No way, too easy. Must use termcap and SGR junk!

Windows 10 Pro?
It normally costs $199, but MS employee can buy it for $40...
Or a MS 365 Family subscription for $20...
MS gave me - and a few others obviously - a opportunity to purchase up to $250 from their employee store...
There is not much there for a developer to be honest...
What would you buy?

At the beginning I was sceptic about those cheap Win10 Pro licenses being sold in retailers, but there were a couple of conversations about it here in the lounge and I think I will buy some of them for my relatives (or even for me if I don't have enough patience with Linux as main OS).

I do not know how cheap do you speak of - but this $40 copy is 10000000% original and legal and everything...

There have been several articles in tech magazines and at least 2 conversations about them here in the lounge.
They are re-sellers from non used OEM big packets.
They are theoretically original and legal too (but I think more of "grey zone"). Officially not illegal though

Once upon a time, long ago, I bought a system which came with Windows (NT, perhaps?). At a certain point I had to reactivate it (rather than an entire new install) - I have forgotten the exact circumstances other than I wanted to avoid a fresh install if I could. The code I had would not reactivate it (there was a way to get the internal code and it matched).
A lot of time with MickySloth, including their security, and it was determined I had an OEM version registered to a corporate entity. Even though I also had an MSDN subscription - so it was all bought and paid for, anyway, they would not (or could not) give me a key that would work. The MSDN key wouldn't work for this version.
So, after a lot of agida I had to reinstall, anyway, via an MSDN version. I'm still not sure if it was (as sold preinstalled) a truly legal copy. Not illegal, either.

The licenses are still activated by Microsoft. They do an apparent "owner" check and then pass the smell test. You get the impression they do a pretty good job tracking licenses and motherboards and owners.
