Sun 14 Jun 2020 07:55:18 AM UTC, comment #2: Oww... I had tried the 'xterm +pc' that Egmont mentioned in bug #56525, but I didn't see any difference with 'xterm -pc'. But my comparison was a bit quick, looking only at some lines with magenta, red, and green, and looking only at the xterms sequentially, not side by side. If I had put them side by side, I might have noticed that the +pc red is slightly darker. And had I looked at cyan and yellow, I would have noticed the difference. (Magenta and green still look the same to me for +pc and -pc.)

Sat 13 Jun 2020 08:52:43 AM UTC, comment #1: Changing the meaning of 'bright' is not a good idea: it changes the look of the existing syntaxes too much -- I am too used to seeing the brightly colored keywords in bold. And introducing an option to change the meaning of 'bright' (possibly per syntax)... it would be confusing, the meaning of 'bright' wouldn't be fixed, it would depend on an option being set or not; also, it would add another option.

As suggested two years ago by myself (https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/nano-devel/2018-01/msg00033.html) and last year by Egmont Koblinger (in comment 9 of bug #56525): it would be nice if the 'bright' prefix of color names did not make the characters also bold. There ought to be a separate attribute, 'bold', that makes the affected characters bold, and 'bright' should just mean brighter/intenser. |
