Bold text on light themes #638

Closed aleprovencio closed 5 years ago

Hello, I'm having issues with displaying bold text on light themes, which has already been described here https://github.com/dylanaraps/pywal/issues/175

The conclusion of that thread was a needed update on vte, which I confirmed to work for gnome-terminal but not for termite. I've also tried changing allow_bold without success.

Do you have foreground_bold defined in your termite config? If so, that color is used for bold text, this isn't overridden by pywal.

Sorry for not testing this option, and it works good enough, thank you. However, as my main concern was pywal's use, I'll be waiting for this https://github.com/dylanaraps/pywal/issues/316
