Black/gray handling issue? #174

Closed sardaukar closed 9 years ago

sardaukar commented 9 years ago

I'm seeing that parts of the htop UI are missing on CRT: screen shot 2014-11-15 at 00 53 15 As you can see, some lines are completely black. They should be gray. Is there a way to fix this?

Cheers, and thanks for an awesome piece of software!

Hi @sardaukar! I'm glad you are enjoying it. This is probably happening because of the way cool-retro-term manages colors. Basically the "system color" (which can be changed in qmltermwidget/lib/color-schemes/cool-retro-term.colorscheme) are colorized (multiplied) by the foreground color you chose (amber in this case). This could lead to some unexpected behaviors (like if you set the font color to be pure red you won't see characters drawn in pure blue). I added the bar saturation color which should mitigate the negative effects. If that's not enough the only solution is to change the font color or to modify the color profile and change those greys into something else.
