Probably putty use "xterm" as default instead to be usable on most
configurations.
I've found that putty is the best (free on windows) "linux" term
emulator around.
As a consequence all my win boxes use it with the following settings:
Terminal -> Keyboard -> The Functions keys and keypad -> Linux
Connection -> Data -> Terminal-type string -> "linux"
with this settings the "xtermcontrol --get-bg" output this:
xtermcontrol: TERM=linux: probably not xterm variant
The script you posted here has good results for $1 = 256 for putty
version 0.58 .
For version 0.56 of putty the for loop need to start from "13" instead
of "0" or it screwed up things at the extend that a "reset" need to be
run. Additionally the color support is limited to 16 .
