@pid_eins wow the auto coloring and title changes would be really annoying. The config to disable it seems to be not user friendly, too:
--background=switch
Whatever background means in this case and why it’s correct to set to switch seems like arbitrary to me.
The tool itself seems to be indeed great!

@sszuecs @pid_eins I think it's the switch that is called `--background=`. I don't think the thread described the different settings you can give to --background.

@amanzer @sszuecs oh. i didn't grok @sszuecs's comment, I was sure there was some misunderstanding but I couldn't figure out how! But your explanation explains the misunderstanding perfectly! So yes, the switch is called "--background=" and you can override the background color with that, or you can assign an empty string to disable the tinting altogether.

@pid_eins @sszuecs Next up, adding "--background=magenta" to my run0.rc. 😂

Lennart Poettering replied to A

@amanzer @sszuecs note quite. we expect ANSI color specifications, hence you probably want --background=35

@rokejulianlockhart because this is about terminal output, and terminals eat ansi sequences and have no concept of alpha channels?

Reto replied to Lennart
@pid_eins @rokejulianlockhart well, modern terminals have true color support at least... would've been nice over the plain ansi number but I get it that querying the cap might be annoying.

@pid_eins @amanzer haha, ok so basically—background=<color>
Ok 👌
