change mutt indicator color when hovering a new message

7

I want to change the color of the text when hovering a new message in mutts index.

Right now I have

color indicator  color111 color236 #indicator line

and

color index      color082 color237 ~N # new message color

How can I set a color for the new message when being hovered by the indicator line?

This is not possible. Every message can have only one color pair (text color, background).

indicator has precedence before index normal color. Probably even before any other color (deleted, tagged, …).

You can set arrow_cursor to see the color of a new message and also see where the indicator is. It changes indicator from whole line to arrow -> at the beggining of the line. Indicator color applies only to the arrow, the rest of the line is colored according to your other color rules.

set arrow_cursor

To toggle the settings use macro, or just :toggle arrow_cursor

macro index,browser,alias,generic ,<space> \
"<enter-command>toggle arrow_cursor<enter>" \
"Toggle cursor arrow/line"
