Colours look dull #14

Open singpolyma opened 4 years ago

singpolyma commented 4 years ago

Without this packages, mutt in ansi-term is unusable (at least with my existing colour settings) -- adding this package makes it render everything. Hooray! Thanks very much.

However, there are some odd parts: the main thing is that I have my read messages set to brightblack and my read messages set to white and it looks like this: Screenshot_2020-04-20_21-27-55

So, not very white at all. My ls output is similar in that the colours aren't wrong... they just look dull. Looks the same in every theme I have installed, so I don't think that's it?

The other oddity is that somehow a blueish "background" is there:

This does not show up in any other terminal emulator, but maybe it's some other colour bleeding through?

So, the background issue can be partially worked around by setting mutt's default background to default instead of black -- but I have confirmed that setting any background in mutt to black causes it to be darkish blue instead, which is very surprising.

So I never replied to this - are you still having this issue? I don't really think I can reproduce this at all...

I also want to shout out https://github.com/akermu/emacs-libvterm as a very competent in-emacs terminal emulator, FWIW.
