Title: aterm and colors
Post by: TaoTePuh on April 22, 2011, 11:55:21 AM

I'm testing some themes for taskwarrior - a time and task management tool with cli, see also http://taskwarrior.org.

I test in aterm.

I am surprised that "everything" turns gray when I use more than 16 colors (see attachments).

Is this a restriction of aterm?

And I had wondered if that was about searching for easter eggs   :P

Seems like it's a limit of 16:

Thanks for the link. There it is manifested:

In addition to the default foreground and background colours, aterm can display up to 16 colours (8 ANSI colours plus high-intensity bold/blink versions of the same).
