I've been messing around with colours in the terminal today and it's giving me a lot of appreciation for iTerm's "minimum contrast" feature, which can take almost unreadable output and turn it into something which is not too bad
feels like a really great way to fix problems where the colors are clashing for whatever reason (the orange bg is an unfortunate accident)
(first image is ngrok in my terminal without the "minimum contrast" rule, second rule is ngrok with minimum contrast set to 40)
also has anyone used a terminal emulator other than iTerm2 (especially one that runs on Linux!) that has a "minimum contrast" feature for colours? I'd love to know what it is!
("minimum contrast" lets you set a threshold and automatically adjusts your terminal colours so they have at least that much contrast)
edit: answers so far include tabby, kitty, ghostty, and Windows Terminal
(2/?)
@b0rk VSCode’s built-in terminal emulator has this
