How to get native terminal colors?

[9mm]

This used to work and now it's using its own set of really ugly colors (I've tried the different themes). I was under the impression native was supposed to use native terminal colors.

Thanks!

@9mm ~--style=native~ should do the trick. Do you have a screenshot?

[9mm]

You can see my terminal colors below for Vim and everything else. I put several colors so you can see how multiple terminal apps are properly using the same colors, and then http is far different.

@9mm thanks. Can you also please include the output of http --debug?

Does anything stand out at you as different about my config? :|

[jkbrzt]

@9mm nothing suspicious. I was mainly interested in the "colors": 256 bit.

[jkbrzt]

@9mm actually, two things 😄

1. this feature hasn't been released yet
2. the style is not called ~native~ (already taken) but preset

So, to have httpie use your lovely color scheme, install it form master and invoke it with --style=preset.

Also, #568 didn't update README and CHANGELOG (todo).

[9mm]

Oh, nice!

PS, I tried reinstalling with --HEAD on brew and got this:

@9mm this should do the trick:

brew uninstall httpie
brew install --HEAD httpie

[9mm]

Unfortunately I did that and no dice. Do you know roughly when it will be released? Just estimate is fine, I could deal with the hideousness until then probably, although I do use http every day (great work btw)

[jkbrzt]

@9mm I hope to be able to ship v1.0.0 soon-ish.

[9mm]

ok cool, I'll just hang out until then. Thanks!

[9mm]

Do you have any further updates on what you plan to ship 1.0.0 which includes this color option? Thanks

[9mm]

Hey @jakubroztocil Just checking in again if we can use the native terminal theme yet. The colors are so insanely bad its impossible to read.

Cheers

I've just installed httpie with brew and preset is not a valid style choice:

http: error: argument --style/-s: invalid choice: 'preset' (choose from 'colorful', 'murphy', 'rrt', 'bw', 'default', 'vim', 'solarized', 'fruity', 'manni', 'vs', 'xcode', 'lovelace', 'borland', 'pastie', 'perldoc', 'paraiso-dark', 'native', 'tango', 'igor', 'algol', 'friendly', 'autumn', 'monokai', 'algol_nu', 'paraiso-light', 'trac', 'emacs')

[9mm]

Yeah I'm still wondering when we can use the native color scheme, I thought it was coming with 1.0 but That was like 6 months ago
