White patch after text ends disregarding background color #193

Closed mayureshw closed 1 week ago

I upgraded from 0.13.2 to 0.15.1

After upgrade I see a patch of default background after the text ends. See screen shot below.

You can workaround it a bit with settings: ui.colors.color.desktop.text ui.colors.color.desktop.background ui.background_char

@rkd77 It would be great to have background/foreground accept "default" or "terminal" as a value to mean that elinks will use default terminal background/foreground colors. A lot of color themes have unique background/foreground colors. One can theoretically use a hex value, but that wouldn't work well with dynamic theme changer of modern terminals.

After a recent upgrade to 0.17 this issue has occurred again for me. It was working when I was using 0.16.

@mayureshw, please provide two screenshots. Good and bad, because I don't get it from descriptions.

In the first post on this thread, there is a link to the bad screenshot. I currently don't have a setup to produce a good screenshot. A good one would just show blue background color (as appearing in the upper part of the bad screenshot) throughout the page.

@mayureshw white background color means "end of document" here. You can change these 3 settings: set ui.colors.color.desktop.text = "blue" set ui.colors.color.desktop.background = "midnightblue" set ui.background_char = 9617 # default 32 (space)

It is not fixable in other way I'm afraid.

Setting it to "black" in fact solved the problem! Instead of appearing black, it acted as transparent and gave a uniform blue that I was getting prior to this upgrade.
