make kitty colors work

[darkralts]

looks ugly, works in xterm but is there any way to make it work in kitty

[darkralts]

my own terminal xresources colors

If you want me to work no something that I personally have no interest in, it'd be nice if you were to gave me more infos and example setups / data and maybe even some screenshots of the difference in colors.

heres some image difference, i just think it would be really cool to somehow get this to work on other terminals aswell if its not too hard, idk much as im not a coder

[Bios-Marcel]

I think there's a workaround porposed here, maybe try that out:

gdamore/tcell#308

[darkralts]

heres what i have with 6cord, looks nice but 6cord has this glitch where channels take like 30 seconds to use so its almost unusable for me

[avahe-kellenberger]

It's honestly terrible, I wonder why it takes so long

Depending on what you're trying to achieve this may or may not be possible already, if Kitty has support for (and I have no clue whether it has this or not) changing it's 16 colors to Xresources colors you can limit your terminal to 16 colors and tcell will use those. Personally I did this as I like my setup to be portable and easily editable from one place like Xresources.

I may also be getting it all wrong and you're trying to do something totally different, in that case I'm the dumb one here.

Either way if you happen to not know how to limit your terminal to 16 colors you've to set your $TERM env variable to xterm-16color but you probs know that :3

Regarding that. @Bios-Marcel I've been noticing when switching accounts it resets to 256, unsure what exactly is causing this, I've a very weird way of doing my .bashrc settings variables and such so it might be that. But this may or may not be needed to look at. Unless this is just a local issue...

[Bios-Marcel]

I think i fixed this already. You just not be on that commit @0neGuyDev

[darkralts]

wait that might work @0neGuyDev, :D i use something called pywal to change my colors and it changes my xresources colors
and i had no idea how to set 16 color i will try this right now :D :D
thanks

Which terminal is it that you're using?

Very few terminals use the Xresources file...

[darkralts]

maybe its something in wal, idk too much cuz im a plebian but im pretty sure it uses the xresources colors and changes them around n stuff

[darkralts]

i use kitty
