terminal font colour

[kleshas]

i3-gaps, and sway. If I use (cat ~/.config/wpg/sequences &) in .bashrc then the font color in kitty/alacritty stays white (backgrounds change). I have tried with templates and without. The templates update properly and the linked conf shows a non-white colour.

If I comment out the sequences line specified above, then the colours change, but only after a restart of the terminal.

Using latest wpgtk-git. wpg.conf:

set_wallpaper = true
gtk = true
active = 0
light_theme = false
editor = geany
execute_cmd = false
command = urxvt -e echo hi
backend = wal
alpha = 100
smart_sort = true
auto_adjust = true
reload = true
keywords = default
vte = false

Tried with VTE fix enabled and disabled.

as a secondary, more minor problem - I have the gtk template installed, and run FlatColor as the theme. Whenever I click on the file manager's (pcmanfm-gtk3 and thunar) modified column (so as to re-order by date), the title row (Name, Description, Size, Modified) doubles in height; it resets after restarting the file manager. Is this an issue with FlatColor or the gtk3 template?

for alacritty and kitty you need to create a template for the colors to be written to the configuration file, sequences are not fully supported on those terminals, this is part of my template:

# Configuration for Alacritty, the GPU enhanced terminal emulator.

colors:
  primary:
    background: '{color0}'
    foreground: '{color15}'
  cursor:
    text:       '{color0}'
    cursor:     '{color7}'
  normal:
    black:      '{color0}'
    red:        '{color1}'
    green:      '{color2}'
    yellow:     '{color3}'
    blue:       '{color4}'
    magenta:    '{color5}'
    cyan:       '{color6}'
    white:      '{color7}'
  bright:
    black:      '{color8}'
    red:        '{color9}'
    green:      '{color10}'
    yellow:     '{color11}'
    blue:       '{color12}'
    magenta:    '{color13}'
    cyan:       '{color14}'
    white:      '{color15}'

live_config_reload: true

for the GTK issue, I'm not sure, I use lxappearance to set FlatColor as my theme and have xsettingsd installed to reload my theme on colorscheme change, I'm not seeing the problem you report

Thanks for the config. I'd got as far as that, but still an issue - the font color changes, but only after a reload of alacritty/kitty. It never changes if (cat ~/.config/wpg/sequences &) is active (so I leave it commented out). I tried xsettingsd, but no difference. Of course, I run sway i.e. so no surprise there. I

The title row of pcmanfm issue seems to have fixed itself - probably a reinstall / upgrade of something.

So, font colour and background colour DO change with theme change, but only when I exit and restart the terminal, and only when the sequences command is commented out in .bashrc. This isn't a real big issue, but it would be nice to know why it happens. Keep up the good work :)

if you're using allacritty config, don't add the (cat ~/.config/wpg/sequences) the config file and the live_config_reload should be enough
