GRC colorization

[anthonycorletti]

I noticed that some text background washout happens with commands colorized by grc.

Ghostty's default is ok, but some themes like catppuccin make text with background color blocking really hard to read.

Default:

Catppuccin:

Can you try out the themes on the https://github.com/catppuccin/ghostty/tree/feat/ansi branch and let me know if it improves or fixes those issues you bring up?

Looks like those are the colors I'm using. Still seeing the washout.

The cursor on the char so hard to read

The cursor on the char so hard to read

Already fixed in #10. Are you using the latest themes from this repository?

I just install ghostty from arch repo. May be it hasnt been updated into ghostty source code yet...? 😬

We don't have control over the default theme repository Ghostty uses (https://github.com/mbadolato/iTerm2-Color-Schemes). I would suggest using the custom theme installation method listed in the README instead (just updated the docs to not suggest using the default theme).

[KevinNitroG]

Alright I got it. But, why did you re open this issue?

[uncenter]

You commented on this issue about general contrast issues with an unrelated text-under-cursor color problem. I mistakenly closed it, before remembering that this issue is about something else, so I reopened.

I can confirm this is still an issue even with the themes from this repository. Especially errors are nearly impossible to read:

For now, I'm just overriding the palette with palette = 7=#ffffff on Mocha to fix this.

I'm running into the same issue with both the bundled catppuccin theme as well as the manual installation. Unfortunately this makes tools like needrestart completely unusable.

I think needrestart uses whiptail for its UI. If you want to check:

$ whiptail --title "Select an option" --radiolist \
"Choose one option:" 15 60 4 \
"Option1" "Description for option 1" ON \
"Option2" "Description for option 2" OFF \
"Option3" "Description for option 3" OFF \
"Option4" "Description for option 4" OFF
