Colors not shown in tmux #141

Closed snckrz closed 7 months ago

snckrz commented 8 months ago

Description: There seems to be no support for colors, when running nchat inside of tmux. Im not sure if its a config error on my end, however, other apps (htop) or angular cli seem to have no trouble with color output. How to reproduce it: run nchat in tmux Environment:

Hi @snckrz - I'm not sure, but I believe it might be an incompatibility between ncurses and tmux.

As a temporary workaround, perhaps you can try setting the TERM you have outside tmux, i.e. if outside tmux you run echo $TERM and it returns xterm-256color, then when running nchat you can try run it like this:

TERM=xterm-256color nchat

From some quick googling, it is not the right way to do so, but I think it may do as a temporary workaround.

I've added the workaround to the README, closing this issue.
