wicket could degrade better without TrueColor support? #3568

Open davepacheco opened 1 year ago

On the stock Mac Terminal.app, apparently regardless of the color scheme, Wicket looks like this:

The splash screen is also blank for a few second.

Mac users are advised to use a terminal with truecolor support. iTerm2 was easy to install and worked for me.

In an interactive program that can read terminal responses, a more reliable method is available, that is transparent to sudo & ssh.

Simply try sending a truecolor value to the terminal, followed by a query to ask what color it currently has. If the response indicates the same color as was just set, then truecolor is supported.

I'm long overdue another look at the wicket UI, we can fold adding colour fallbacks into that work

Interestingly there is a mechanism suggested for automatic detection in the document you mention, @sunshowers! But of course it does not appear to work with Alacritty, so I've filed an RFE there: https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty/issues/7184

Will be interesting to see if it works with other terminals!
