true color not working on windows (cmder)

[dev-dwarf]

Hi, I just downloaded micro to try it out. I want to use true color mode to use a better looking color scheme. Im on windows using Cmder as terminal. ConEmu's 256 color test works as shown by below image, and I've set MICRO_TRUECOLOR as stated by the readme. However when I run micro it only uses the 16 system colors, even after setting a -tc colorscheme. Any advice?

I have not tested this even though I sometimes use Windows too, but can you try setting MICRO_TRUECOLOR=1 and TCELL_TRUECOLOR=enable?

Micro uses an old fork of Tcell. I do not know why and it was probably discussed once in #2867, but 16 colors are used when TCELL_TRUECOLOR=disable is set (changed upstream in later versions). Micro sets TCELL_TRUECOLOR=disable when MICRO_TRUECOLOR=1 is not set.

There seems to be a bug with ConEmu handled upstream and in the fork, but I don't know anything about the situation:

That did the trick! Thank you!
