Mint-Y Light themes still have dark terminal colors #478

Closed AndreiMiculita closed 3 weeks ago

AndreiMiculita commented 3 weeks ago

Steps to reproduce:

  1. (via simplified theme settings) Activate Mint-Y, select "Light", any color
  2. Open a terminal, under Edit > Preferences > (current profile) > Colors > make sure "Use colors from system theme" is checked

Expected behaviour

Terminal should use a light color, such as the ones available when "Use colors from system theme" is unchecked (Black on white, GNOME light, Tango light, Solarized light)

Actual behaviour

The terminal color is dark (mostly white on black). image

Other observations

I could pick one of the light themes for the terminal, but then I have to lose the automatic switch when I change system themes. I switch from light/dark system theme in the day/night so it is convenient to have it automated.

Thanks for the suggestion. This is just an artistic choice (which we all know not everyone will like). It seems that most people prefer the dark terminal background even in the light theme. It's possible that this could be changed nowadays with the addition of the "Dark theme" preference that the terminal now has.
