Does this app support default terminal colors?

[mjsir911]

Hi,

In my .Xresources file I have defined my background as being slightly darker than my black color:

*.foreground:   #c5c8c6
*.background:   #1d1f21
*.cursorColor:  #c5c8c6

! black
*.color0:       #282a2e
*.color8:       #373b41

When I start up the app I see that the background actually changes color and is now gray, using my black defined color rather than my background defined color.

Is there any way for me to set the terminal default as the background color?

Thanks,

You can try to experiment with themes.rs file. Cursive allows you to use TerminalDefault as color value.

pub fn pallete_gen() -> Palette {
     let mut p = Palette::default();
     p[Background] = TerminalDefault;
     p[Shadow] = TerminalDefault;
     p[View] = TerminalDefault;
     p[Primary] = TerminalDefault;
     p[Secondary] = TerminalDefault;
     p[Tertiary] = TerminalDefault;
     p[TitlePrimary] = TerminalDefault;
     p[Highlight] = TerminalDefault;
     p[HighlightInactive] = TerminalDefault;
     return p;
 }

Making such change will leave command field box unchanged ( still black ). To change it you have to do some changes in command.rs line 41.

It's definitely a problem in your Xresources, not a bug in dijo.
This issue can be closed.

I don't believe it to be a bug that I choose higher contrast colors for my terminal to help with vision & that dijo overwrites them and makes it harder to see.

Using themes.rs to change the colors to default did fix everything excep the command field box, thanks!

Thanks for the help with this one @rochala, v0.2.3 includes this change.

Re: command mode, I'm afraid I can't quite fix this just yet, please see #46
