Originally from: https://github.com/MidnightCommander/mc/pull/54
I'm creating my own theme for mc and I noticed that the vertical lines (│) of marked and selected files they had the selected color instead of markselect.

Sorry, it's crazy spam-filter :( I've trained the filter so I hope that you'll write comments without any restrictions

I don't think that is a regression. IMO the skin is "buggy".
comment:8 Changed 10 years ago by slavazanko
I'm really not happy with this change, it breaks quite a few skins, including the default one with TERM=xterm (that is, 256 colors are *not* available and bold+bright is indeed bold). The result is quite ugly as the vertical bar changes to bold, and I don't like its foreground color change either. See the screenshot, it was taken with konsole. (Note: konsole hand-draws the line drawing characters and applies bold to them. The issue might not be visible with other terminals that either take these chars from the font (if the bold font doesn't actually make these bolder), or if the terminal hand-draws these chars but doesn't apply bold, such as gnome-terminal.)
Could you please revert the change (especially if a .14 release is due soon as I suspect)?
We should understand how the said skin wants to look like, and if necessary, maybe introduce a new color for that position and update the existing skins too.
Okay, I reverted these changes. See changeset:cd04e9170d2d18b8c8e88d7782d43685cee94624

I like this solution.

What about introducing these colors: selectedsep, markedsep, markselectsep?

Replying to oblique:

Sounds good to me.
Old skins should updated too - in the first round in a way that their visual look doesn't change (just copy the colors from the keyword that's used currently); in the second round we could revisit them, maybe some could benefit from the change just like your skin.
I'm not sure if we should wait for it with the 4.8.14 release, main developers will have to decide here. There are one or two other pending tickets about introducing some new color keywords, I think it might make sense to address all of them for 4.8.15.
