| So, screen advertises the same capabilities to the starting apps |
| 13 |
| regardless the terminal the screen is being run on? |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Yes. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
| Or it advertises reduced capabilities according the terminal it's |
| 18 |
| currently attached to? |

No. |

| As for the former, I don't think that would work. If an app chooses a |
| 23 |
| multi color style cuz screen is able to handle it, but then screen |
| 24 |
| tries to reduce it to mono. |
