colorize no longer works in gnome 3.36.1
caribo opened this issue · comments
Since upgrading to gnome 3.36.1 setting output text colour using the color attribute no longer affects the colour of the text.
Maybe related to the following commit ?
https://gitlab.gnome.org/rockon999/gnome-shell/-/commit/8c0fc84e35b6017314d92d589b5a915ee1dcf16d
fyi related merge requests are maybe:

Also, as a fun fact, if we use a emoji in the argos title, the coloring is working.
If not, the color were just the default from current theme.
So as always, emojis are the solution! 
Can you tell me how to "use a emoji in the argos title" so I can test your emoji workaround ?

@caribo yes of course!
You can use any emoji code https://www.webfx.com/tools/emoji-cheat-sheet/ here (Could also be disabled in argos with emojize=false)
So as an simple example
#!/usr/local/bin/node
// This don't work
console.log(`<span foreground="#e86f6f">Test red</span>`);
// This also NOT works, the emoji must be at the start
console.log(`<span foreground="#e86f6f">Test red</span> :smile:`);
// This WILL work
console.log(`:smile: <span foreground="#e86f6f">Test red</span>`);
// This also works, why so ever (an empty span do NOT work..)
console.log(`<span> </span> <span foreground="#e86f6f">Test red</span>`);So as a workaround, the first thing in the text must be an emoji or empty span tag with at least one whitespace 🤷♂️
There is a dev RPM package using the following patch for menuitem.js: link
What is the actual issue behind this? Is it a gnome shell problem or an argos problem?
