@david@daiwei.me Ha, I just noticed that I changed Newsboatâs defaults. Right from the factory, new items are just bold, while read ones arenât. No different colors, white on black. Focused items are bold yellow on blue. No matter the read status. I think thatâs why I started to play with the config to differentiate them. Itâs been so long ago that I didnât know anymore I even messed with that.
And yes, youâre right, the red on black is borderline readable. Also, my white on green focus is rather silly. But Iâm sooo used to it, I donât realize how bad the contrast is. To be fair, I donât spend a lot of time in the lists. Aha, there are new articles, Enter to hit the artice view, read it, press n to immediately jump to the next unread article, rince and repeat, finally Iâm back in the article list view.

@david@daiwei.me Not sure if you only mean the code segments or in general. In theory, a general darker text color for read messages would probably work. The thing is that regular white on black is quite standard. In Newsboat, new articles are red (I opted for yellow here) and read ones white. I found that useful and kinda copied it for tt.

tt. Focusing them just alternates the fore- and background colors. With the old color scheme, I disliked that inline code and code blocks were basically just the opposite of normal text. Hence, unread code was white and read code yellow. I found this often confusing, especially with larger code blocks. Sure, there are the timestamp and author columns that still show the usual white (read) and yellow (unread) background for selected messages, but still.
As an alternative, I also gave a much simpler teal on gray with reversed colors on focus a shot. Hmm, not so sure either. :-?

This is how it was before with unread messages:
Before with read messages:
So, I just reworked the code styles. Not sure if I like that or if it is actually an improvement. Unread code is teal on gray when not in focus and becomes blue on orange when focused. I thought the dark gray code background on a black regular background is still nice and subtle. The same similarity in colors for focused messages meant to go with an orange code background on a yellow regular background. The teal was too light, so went with a blue foreground color:
When read and unfocused, the new color scheme calls for the same code style teal on dark gray. However, with white as the main background for selected messages, I went with a light gray code background and a blue code foreground. Again, the contrast with white and teal wasnât good enough. Vice versa, blue on dark gray is also not all that readable:
It looks like a parrot. Letâs see if I begin to like it.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, last night's Magic games were dominated by the new Marvel set.

For game 2, everyone else brought out bigger guns - tribal dragons, tribal giants, tribal spiders (led by the completely broken Cosmic Spider-Man), and Atraxa (equipped with Captain Americaâs shield, no less), while I ran my new (also unlisted) 5-color tribal Super Villains deck (fronted by the Super Skrull). Although I got off to a slow start, it kept me mostly under the radar, allowing me to ultimately win with the Villains by goading everyone elseâs creatures into attacking each other on one turn (via Maximum Carnage), and then killing off the remaining players over 3 combat phases on the follow-up turn (Full Throttle).
Boo-yah!
Perhaps unsurprisingly, last nightâs Magic games were dominated by the new Marvel set.
In game 1, I was running my new (unlisted) 5-color tribal Super Heroes deck (led by Nick Fury, Agent of SHIELD) against a lightly-modified Avengers Assemble deck, a tribal Super Villains deck (fronted by Thanos, the Mad Titan), and 2 âclassicâ magic decks (Fractals and Artifacts). The heroes held their own quite well, but that game went way too long (thanks to Thanos snapping away half the board every other turn). It finally ended when everyone quit after yet another board wipe (giving the wiper her first win).

With multicolored TUIs, I find it usually hard to immediately tell which button is selected if there are just two.
Indeed, I wouldnât be able to tell in that example, either. movwin works around that by (mostly) assuming that there is no support for colors at all, so there should always be a way to tell which widget has focus, even without colors. Thatâs why it puts brackets around a buttonâs label when focused:

Unfortunately, I left my camera at home and found it hidden behind the cettle in the kitchen after searching the entire house for some 15 odd minutes. However, a greenfinch paid me a visit this morning and I got it on camera. The sunset was crazy colored, too:

The dark mode was an aesthetic choice by a designer with a strong preference for dark mode (and who thought the maroon looked better as a background color), but in the interest of being supportive of my audience, I added a localstorage-backed memory to the theme toggle (so when you turn it to light mode, it should remember for future visits).
