Possible Solution 💡
Using VSCode terminal
The results you're seeing in the Windows terminal is most likely because that terminal instance doesn't support truecolor. Or, perhaps more accurately, our tools don't think your terminal supports truecolor. When the language bar can't display the exact color, we fall back to the simple colors. See #585 for context. So I see two possible solutions
- Get better at detecting if the terminal supports true color (bug fix, possibly upstream)
Pick better colors when the terminal doesn't support true color (feature request)I think we've discussed this before, and decided that we need to cycle arbitrary colors to distinguish languages that would have the same simple color
As a current workaround, try onefetch --true-color always and let us know if it looks good 🙂
Windows terminal supports true color. It seems to be a detecting problem.
