color argument is a color-pair index (as in the first ar-
gument of <EM>init</EM><STRONG>_</STRONG><EM>pair</EM>, see <STRONG><A HREF="curs_color.3x.html">curs_color(3x)</A></STRONG>). The <STRONG>opts</STRONG> argu-
ment is not presently used, but is reserved for the future
- (leave it <STRONG>NULL</STRONG>). Note that changing the attributes does
- not imply that a subsequent <STRONG>refresh</STRONG> will update the screen
- to match, since the character values are not modified.
- Use <STRONG>touchwin</STRONG> to force the screen to match the updated at-
- tributes.

<STRONG>Attributes</STRONG>
The following video attributes, defined in <STRONG><curses.h></STRONG>, can
<STRONG>tr_set</STRONG>. These are intended to work with a new series of
highlight macros prefixed with <STRONG>WA_</STRONG>.
+ Older versions of this library did not force an update of
+ the screen when changing the attributes. Use <STRONG>touchwin</STRONG> to
+ force the screen to match the updated attributes.
+
<STRONG>WA_NORMAL</STRONG> Normal display (no highlight)
<STRONG>WA_STANDOUT</STRONG> Best highlighting mode of the terminal.
