Customize background and foreground color #22

Open Boruch-Baum opened 4 years ago

Boruch-Baum commented 4 years ago

The package termux:Style allows users to set the background and foreground colors for a regular termux window, but not for a termux:Floating window, so it's unclear to me whether in terms of system architecture, the developers would want such a feature added natively to 'termux:Float', or bundled into 'termux:Style'. It might be more consistent to add the functionality to 'termux:Style' so that the list of style resources isn't duplicated, saving some space.

My personal preference would be to just add information in the wiki how to set the colors manually, or in a config file, if its that simple. I tried doing this with command tput, but the result wasn't complete, and ~/.Xresources did no good, but if there is some other simple command-line operation or config-file setting that would do the job, I don't think termux users would mind doing that instead of using termux:Style. However, if getting this donw absolutely requires compiling a new terminfo file, then my vote is for an automated feature. Personally, termux:Style seems to me to be over-bloated for what in linux would be three or four lines in an ~/.Xresources file, but I may be missing some of what the app is doing, and what is required for android.

If you want me to submit this issue to package 'termux:Style', that's fine.

My use-case is an android 9 e-ink display. In that environment, the default colors causes the font to look smudged at all sizes, so the text is very difficult to read.

Termux load colors from $HOME/.termux/colors.properties, then change this file will change colors for many things.

The Termux font is $HOME/.termux/font.ttf, put some font file with that name or symlink to some file in other place.

Note that above files will effect Termux:Float too.

That was added in v0.15.0. I am not sure if users want separate files for Termux:Float or not.

Oh, I see

Maybe some kind of option at termux.float.properties like separate-float-style=true? Then if true read font.float.ttf and colors.float.properties

Thanks for implementing this.

Yeah, that should work.

You are welcome.
