There is a problem with the high-intensity colors, they are not showing up

It looks like ncurses on MacOS was not compiled with --enable-ext-colors option, as even a C program fails to show high colors:

#include <ncurses.h>

main()
   {
    initscr();
    if (start_color() == OK)
    {
        init_pair (1, COLOR_YELLOW, COLOR_BLUE);
        attrset (A_BOLD | COLOR_PAIR (1));
        addstr ("yellow text on blue");
        getch ();
    }
    endwin();
   }

The only fix seems to be that I need to write my own engine, can not rely on the system curses to work.

Closing this issue, as the fix is to implement our own engine on MacOS
