Can you link me to a way to use colours that change with the terminal colour preset? I haven't come across anything like that or maybe didn't pay attention. It would be really helpful
You said you can't even set an env variable to change them so I assume that there is an even better way?
- hnlmorg 6y agoWikipedia has a good section on the different methods of describing colour: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code#3/4_bit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code#3/4_bit I've got some Go code that you can reuse if you want to the escape codes in Go: https://github.com/lmorg/murex/blob/master/utils/ansi/codes.go https://github.com/lmorg/murex/blob/master/utils/ansi/codes.... Just bare in mind that any numbers you see in documentation are sent as ASCII values rather than integers. eg `ESC[31m` (red text) should be sent to the terminal as []byte{ // http://www.asciitable.com/ 27, // ESC character code 91, // '[' 51, // '3' 49, // '1' 109, // 'm' } Though, as you know, most languages will have some syntactic sugar to translate characters to their ASCII values, eg 'm' == 109 Asc("m") == 109 ...etc... so at least you don't have to write all those values by hand.

- kristopolous 6y agoOn Linux, in X, you can use xresources. Otherwise there's termcap
- ASVVVAD 6y agototally forgot about xresources! thanks for the reminder
