Application can also set the background colours. If I "fix" things so that it will work well on a light background then it will be broken on applications that explicitly set a dark background.
- lolinder 3y agoIs there a good use case for applications explicitly setting a dark background? If you're playing games in your terminal I can see it, but I'm having a hard time imagining a good use case beyond that.
- arp242 3y agoMany TUIs do this, and some CLIs as well (e.g. npm).
- scythe 3y agoFor most cases this could probably be fixed by using a more abstract color scheme: rather than "red", "blue", "grey", and such, maybe "warn_0", "emphasis_0", "dull_0", etc.
