Some text not visible in solarized dark theme

[ps-aux]

In solarized dark theme certain text areas invisible. Maybe it is problem of the theme but this is rather annoying and the theme is quite popular. Possible workaround is with --no-colors.

Note: I reworked the color palette on workshopper-adventure recently to be better readable (particularily on windows). Maybe javascripting needs an updated workshopper-adventure?

Not sure. Attended a nodeschool event in Tampa this evening and wasn't able to read the steps because my terminal uses the Solarized dark theme. Sure I could have switched themes, but didn't feel like fiddling with my terminal. I appreciate the free and open resources, just a heads up.

Could y'all try the latest version and see if this is improved for you?

Reinstall with npm:

npm i -g javascripting

I've the same issue and I'm running the latest version, with --no-colors option is everything fine.

@sethvincent installing the newest version indeed worked for me (Ubuntu). I think this is not longer an issue.

This is a real usability problem. I for instance find the yellow text written by webpack unreadable on a white terminal background - yes, I like white terminal background 😄 . Web accessibility has made huge progress, but CLI still has to catch up. True that the user can pick a different theme, but it's a barrier to entry and a hassle.

I'm not sure if we can cater to every theme out there, there's always going to be something that conflicts with the styling of a cli program

@ps-aux This is a bug of the solarized color scheme, it would be awesome if you report it! @SomeoneWeird I think it might be fixed in new versions of Workshopper, would you mind to update and redeploy it?

[SomeoneWeird]

Oh? Ok, I'll try get around to it tonight.

Quick iTerm2 Fix

Edit: I haven't tried updating my Solarized Dark iTerm2 colorscheme, which may solve the problem!

1. Open iTerm2 -> Preferences
2. After selecting the Profiles tab, click Colors.
3. On the right-side of the pane, under ANSI Colors, select first box in the Bright column (the Black row)
4. from the modal's dropdown, select HSB with Brightness Slider.
5. Drag the slider to the right to make the color brighter.

Should fix the problem without having to adjust the minimum contrast setting.

You can revert to the default Solarized Dark color scheme by selecting it from the Color Presets.. dropdown.
