[menucolor patch] Changing MENUCOLORs while in game

[Guest]

Hello,

I've poked around, but do apologize if this is something so obvious.
I'm currently running version n+1, test 1 of Patchhack and am quite
capable of configuring the MENUCOLOR options in my defaults.nh.
However, these changes are only applied, so far as I can tell, when I
start a new game. Is there a way to apply these changes in-game, or in
some fashion which will apply to a save game I load?

Thanks,

-Tal Kedem

I see that nethack.alt.org seems to reread the options file each time
you login, but the Win32 TTY executable doesn't seem to be doing this.
I'll poke around some more.

D'oh, disregard -- looks like I just had broken regexps! Thanks,
though, for responding.

I'm almost 100% certain that menucolors are NOT stored in savegames and
that they are reloaded from your configuration file each time you save
and load your game, since I clearly remember doing exactly this on
nethack.alt.org during my extinctionist wizard to aid in the sorting of
all his loot. Changing menucolors in-game (i.e. via Shift+O) could
probably be implemented, though I'm not the one who's going to do it.
