Bug with themes?

[jackfranklin]

So on iTerm 2, with the Solarized theme, distra's logs are sort of invisible:

This is probably an issue with my system but just thought I'd report it. Trying to do some investigating into the cause.

Yeah I found the same – so I changed my theme! Really annoying, will see what I can do. PR welcome ;)

A bit of research led me to a lot of other people complaining about this.

See: mochajs/mocha#802 & altercation/solarized#164

iTerm2 has the contrast set to the lowest. If you increase this, you can see color code 90. Still not awesome, but works.

A fix that works explicitly for me is to set it to white using the npm colors module: jackfranklin@1742987

I don't think that's a good fix but it works for me, so I'm now running distra through my local copy & npm link. There must be a more generic solution.

Found it. It's an iTerm solarized contrast thing:

I don't understand why the colours are different in some of the logs compared to others, though 🐗

[tgvashworth]

Yeah I know what you mean – I have the contrast up but how did it come to be that they used the same colour for foreground and background?!

[jackfranklin]

I've no idea what's happening here :(

[tgvashworth]

Meh. Closing cos this ain't a biggy.
