there is no place for subpixel in image #710

Closed 532910 closed 4 years ago

The current screenshots looks so rainbow-awful, so I even don't thought to try it.

jarun commented 4 years ago

Then don't enable colors and icons. We wouldn't hold you accountable for that. ;)

532910 commented 4 years ago

Have you seen your screenshot on screens with other pixel order? Have you tried to rotate your own?

He is referring how the font is rendered in the screenshots. I don't know why he is expressing himself this way though... This is sort of related to the previous discussion where I gave examples from /r/unixporn

cap picture on repo vs screenshot of asciinema

close up on example of issue (4x zoom): cap

I don't like messing with fonts in linux, but I remember it was a pain to get the rendering working better than default... Even after all that messing around it still doesn't work perfectly...

532910 commented 4 years ago

What way exactly? This is just a user experience, and not my own. Screenshots are intended to make the first impression, this one says "just don't even think about installing me".

Does the image in the repo show properly? It should because it is a PNG.

We can remove the link to the asciicast.

jarun commented 4 years ago

Speaking of the images on the readme, they render correctly on Linux, Windows and Android.

jarun commented 4 years ago

If you have issues with the fonts in the asciicast, please talk to the asciiinema team.

Also, there is a note below the asciicast about the icons.

NO!

It should because it is a PNG.

It must not.

Do you know what subpixel is? Do you know, that different monitors has different subpixel order? Have you even thought that subpixel order will differ for the same monitor on rotation?

532910 commented 4 years ago

Asciinema rendering looks fine.

The only two issues with asciinema i see is:

  1. icons are shown as squares
  2. keystrokes are not displayed

@532910

Do you know how to read English? Do you know what someone means by "they render correctly on Linux, Windows and Android."? It means the 3 devices I could test on things show properly.

Do you know what subpixel is?

Do you know, that different monitors has different subpixel order?

Have you even thought that subpixel order will differ for the same monitor on rotation?

No. Unlike you, my life doesn't depend on it and I don't learn everything under the sun unless they are really important/relevant to me, which subpixel isn't.

I am locking this conversation and if I see any further attempt from you to malign the nnn team again, I will report your profile.

We work on nnn in our free time and we don't owe you anything. Go practice your attitude and sarcasm in your own projects.

I see you don't have any other than some forks. Thought so. In that case.. charity begins at home.

jarun commented 4 years ago

Your loss. Not our problem.

And no, you couldn't get over it! You had to raise this issue.

0xACE commented 4 years ago

What way exactly?

The general population aren't aware of the fault you are pointing out, thus this thread is ambiguous. The presentation from you is also condescending. Why would you notify 109 people like this?

An internal conversation has been had regarding this topic. Among the developers in the nnn team I guess at least three of us understand what you are referring to. Coverage of this topic from the dev team has been lacking for various reasons. I have plans to mitigate this, but this will be done after I fix more important things.

If you take such pride in spazzing out over screenshots of open source terminal programs: How about providing a better screenshot? That is if you have worked out font rendering on your machines...

The only thing stopping you from providing better documentation is you. Pull requests are welcome.

If your only concern was that we should improve the presentation, be aware that your proposal has been noted and will be dealt in the future.

Have a good day :D
