Hi @pickfire !

You might want to experiment with the --blame-palette parameter, or the according gitconfig option delta.blame-palette. This enables you to customize the background colors in blame output that's handled by delta.

Please keep in mind that the feature is still in an early state, there's no mention in the project's README yet. Although you can consult this comment by @dandavison as to how it works, and there's a short summary in the output of delta --help.

Dan mentioned also that there will probably be two defaults at some point, one for dark themes and another for light ones.

---

By the way, if you want blame output not to be handled by delta, but rather by a normal pager, a good way to go woud be a gitconfig like :

[core]
	pager	= less
[pager]
	blame	= true
	diff	= delta
	show	= delta
	log		= delta
	stash	= delta
	; asf, with all the subcommands you want to pipe their output to delta

Cheers !

Hi @pickfire, can you try with the latest version? Delta now has different default blame-palette values for light and dark.

[pickfire]

Yup, it works nicely now. But I am curious how it can support both.

[dandavison]

Great.

I am curious how it can support both.

It was basically a bug that it was giving you those light colors before. By default, delta assumes the user has a dark terminal background. Users who have a light terminal background have to set light = true in delta settings. So by default the blame background is for dark, but if you have light = true it will be light. There's no (not yet) any magical autodetection of terminal background colors or of system light vs dark mode.
