[Feature Request] Use ~/.Xresources defined colours #88

Open McHearty opened 9 years ago

as much as I like solarized, its a bit of an eyesore with my colours

sid-kap commented 9 years ago

I'm not sure if my issue is related. I have my terminal set up with the solarized light colorscheme, and if I set hangouts to the Solarized Dark colorscheme, a lot of the colors look really bad. In particular, both the tabs and the tab text are dark colors, which makes the tabs almost unreadable.

Could we do something similar to what Vim does (if we detect that the terminal supports 256 colors) so that any colorscheme "just works" regardless of our terminal color scheme?

You probably need to have both the terminal and hangups configured for solarized dark for it to look correct.

Rather than this, would it maybe be better to allow users to load their own colorschemes from $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/hangups/colors?

Looks like we got the access to change colours now, but the documentation on this is incredibly poor, issue #71 is really starting to be a necessity here guys.
