When do we get our inverse U+E0B0 Triangle?

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Some Terminals dont apply effects like transpaency to foreground colors.

Describe the solution you'd like Inverted version of U+E0B0 and other powerline symbols without already existing inverse counterparts

Describe alternatives you've considered U+E0D4: Looks bad

Additional context This has been requested on multiple occasions, for example Here Also, its not like the svg's have to be made from scrap, some already exist in the Powerline Extra Repo (here for example)

Misunderstood initially, this is my first answer, maybe ignore

I guess I do not get it. If you want to have it "inverse" just assign the foreground color to the background and vice versa?

You mean these two?

They are the same, just one time you turn on 'inverse mode' via \e[7m.

Usually it looks more like this:

The first E0B0 (left pink arrow) and its inverse twin E0B0 (right pink arrow). Just by setting the color correctly.

printf "\e[102m\e[31m fini \e[92m\e[100m\ue0b0\e[100m\e[97m ~ \e[90m\e[102m\ue0b0\e[31m test \e[0m\n"

With explanation:

You see, the left (first) E0B0 is green-on-grey and the right (second) inverse one is grey-on-green.

Here the real answer

Transparency mode?

Some Terminals dont apply effects like transpaency to foreground colors.

Which terminal is that, that you use for PowerShell?

I guess you mean this here https://github.com/ryanoasis/powerline-extra-symbols/commit/eb6b9721a893bf97268dfed507680467ef91c189 Codepoints E0D6 and E0D7

Note to self: Check if this is still a problem with Win11 (i.e. Windows Terminal)

U+E0D4: Looks bad

Can you explain why? Looks bad for your use case, or is there an issue with the icon itself?

Are you willing to test the new glyphs? I can create patched fonts for your preferred sourcefont and you can try. Please specify which font you'd like to test @a-usr.

U+E0D4: Looks bad

Can you explain why? Looks bad for your use case, or is there an issue with the icon itself?

It's not the icon itself, but it just don't match with what I need in my use case (specifically the empty line in the middle and the fact that the angle of the triangle when the symbol has the background colour as foreground and vice versa)

Which terminal is that, that you use for PowerShell?

It is actually Windows Terminal, wich you plan on investigating.

I would love to test CascaydaCove
