1 year ago I use kitty as well, and I've never noticed anything looking off.
- What's the chance of
set_terminal_properties(bright_is_bold=False)breaking something else? - Do you have a sense what the correct termcap query might look like?

I've noticed urwid looks strange since I've started using "kitty" terminal. kitty comes with its own custom termaps, and so it's necessary to set
TERM=kitty. In urwid, rather than using termap, they use a simple "not xterm" heuristic for their "bright is bold" flag. This results in a random half of all syntax becoming bold.https://github.com/urwid/urwid/blob/master/urwid/raw_display.py#L79

Could we call
set_terminal_properties(bright_is_bold=False)during startup? If you want to get fancy we could determine this boolean via termcap (as urwid should have done).
