Bombadillo: Colors

by sloum 5 years ago

GNU/Linux ◆ st-256color ◆ bash 407 views

Version 2.0.6 includes support for a new theme: color. The asciinema player shows how they are rendered.

The available themes are:

normal: your terminal’s native fg and bg colors, escape codes in documents are filtered out and not rendered
inverse: your terminal’s native fg and bg colors are inverted, escape codes in documents are filtered out and not rendered
color: your terminal’s native fg and bg colors, escape codes relating to color (or boldness and the like) are rendered. Movement escapes and other escape codes are filtered out

A note on the above is that documents using the local scheme will not filter out nor render escape codes. They will be printed literally (with the escape itself in octal notation \033) to show document intent when browsing local files.
