Is there a light theme?

[NightMachinery]

The current color scheme looks awful on light-themed terminals.

Hi @NightMachinary ,

Sorry there is currently no way to change the color scheme. Could you please share a screenshot of how it looks in a light-themed terminal?

Thanks

I second that.... the colors are an issue.
Would love to have a light (as in "don't touch my background" :) theme.

I am attaching a screenshot, in case it is still needed.

Thanks for the screenshot @DannyBen!! It is not pretty, but is not the worse either ;)

As I said there is no support for changing the color scheme for now, but it might be simpler to add way to use the active background color, I will think about it.

Perhaps the easiest way to approach this is to a) avoid setting ANY background color and b) avoid using the color white for text. From my experience, if these two guidelines are met, most things look good for everybody.

I'd agree, I have tried it and simply removed the .Background(b) here

dry/ui/tcell.go

Line 61 in 595b776

st = st.Foreground(f).Background(b)

And the result fits in MUCH better with my personal color setup.

Would be cool if this was the default @moncho

Thanks for this software, its exactly what I needed :)

Thanks for the suggestion, @normen! I have tried it and unfortunately it also removes the background color from the selected items of lists, so it is not enough, sorry.

Great that you like the tool :)

Hah, sure, it basically removes all background in all styles. I just meant that in general the background should really only be used when needed (i.e. for the CPU use bars etc.) - then it will look fine on most terminals, just as @DannyBen suggested.
