Text becomes unreadable on light themed consoles

[Mario Vilas]

Describe the bug
Text is hard to read when the console background is not black.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open a console
2. Set any color scheme with a light background

Expected behavior
All text should be readable (even if it no longer looks pretty).

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Ubuntu Linux, latest version

Additional context
A possible solution is never to specify black or white as text color, but rather use the default color, whichever it may be. Green or red colored text should always be visible anyway.

Another (complementary) solution would be to add an option to disable color altogether.

Thanks, I mainly specified colors because my termux is dark themed. So in the next release, i'll either permanently disable all colors, or use only default colors (And just have red and green to highlight positive and negative messages), or alternatively have an option as you said to choose whether colors should be disabled or not. I'll close this issue as soon as I publish an update (which is what i'm currently working on).

Hello @MarioVilas, the issue has been fixed in the latest (as of writing) v1.5.2-alpha.
Upon launch, users will be prompted to choose whether they would like to display colors or not.
