The background color flashes

[nerdpad]

When I have this plugin active typing causes the background color to flash. It changes to lighter tone when I type, and goes back to dark when I stop typing.

Check the following video for demonstration. https://youtu.be/PZcLpfZRN50

It looks weird, could you post your plugins list?

If I comment out hyperterm-blink it stops flashing.

I still cannot reproduce the problem with exactly the same .hyper.js 🤔

[amio]

I guess it might be related to attribute naming conflict with other plugins, I'm not sure if this ( cb0962e04069a3f04b7e2ced7eb8c6a6506a6357 ) would work, but you may have a try (update plugin).

BTW, the package has been renamed to hyper-blink.

I have the same behavior which is very annoying, see video - https://vimeo.com/194325317.

Here is my config:

    // terminal cursor background color and opacity (hex, rgb, hsl, hsv, hwb or cmyk)
    cursorColor: 'rgba(248,28,229,0.8)',

    // `BEAM` for |, `UNDERLINE` for _, `BLOCK` for █
    cursorShape: 'BLOCK',

    // color of the text
    foregroundColor: '#fff',

    // terminal background color
    backgroundColor: '#000',

    // border color (window, tabs)
    borderColor: '#333',

    // custom css to embed in the main window
    css: '',

Thanks @juanpedrojose

A further question, if you keep pressing a button (eg, a), is it flashing at the beginning and the end? or on every character input?

[nerdpad]

It happens on every key press. Thanks for looking into this.

Not sure if this info is helpful but I'll throw it out there; I have the same macOS and Hyper configuration on my Macbook pro and my iMac. My Macbook Pro does not change/flash background color, while the iMac does flash a different background color.

[cdes]

I've found the culprit.

It's your chosen color profile. huh?

this one:

Just choose the appropriate color profile for your monitor and it will be fixed.
