Please support a bg and fg color combo #18

Even a rudimentary support would improve the readability greatly. Many thanks in advance.

Just FYI, terminal file manager nnn now has a plugin to read books from Project Gutenberg: https://github.com/jarun/nnn/blob/master/plugins/gutenread

epr is the suggested utility for those who (like myself) prefer the epub format.

Great utility! Keep up the good work!

Wow, couldn't believe the jarun, the man behind buku and googler, would be here. Been a big fans of them cli apps, thanks for them.

And regarding color combo, indeed color scheme (and separated config & statesaving files) came to mind some times ago, but I got bad sector in my HDD, so I lost everything in a partition containing epr development note and it's been too long since the last time I check epr github page. But now since I just upgraded to SSD, I'll try to get back at it soon. Tho probably I'll start with simple dark/light switch.

And thanks for recommending epr in nnn plugins, totally appreciate it.

Oh and a fun little fact: Buku, as you stated, means close to heart in your language. But in my language (Indonesian) it means book.

Just doing my part to make the terminal great again! ;)

I really like epr and nowadays I'm reading Edgar Allan Poe in it using the gutenread plugin. It would really help if I could tweak the colors a little.

But in my language (Indonesian) it means book.

Yes, I heard it earlier too. Still makes sense given bookmarks originated from books. :)

Hello there, just added dark/light color switch... Though for now it only involves 2 colors, foreground and bakcground, no syntax highlighting. And customizing those colors can only be done inside the source.

See the updated README.MD...

Cool!

I love the light color scheme! Can you please add a program option to pass the value so users don't have to press c each time they open the reader?

Updating the thread in case you have missed the request for a program option...
