Document how to achieve inverted 1-bit color depth styling
With #563, monochrome support is much improved, for a truly high-contrast (or retro!) experience.
However:
- Can we improve the 'colors' used for each style? There are very few combinations available, of course!
- Currently in 1-bit (monochrome) color-depth, every theme is identical, as having many 'themes' makes little sense in this context; however, we could have a 'light' (inverted) style, perhaps?
I'm going to narrow this issue's focus since:
- the monochrome styling is already very usable now
- we could always slightly improve the monochrome styling, but this doesn't deserve an issue
- the context here is really the behavior in 1-bit color depth, which is subtly different from a monochrome theme!
Therefore the remaining significant element(s) would be to investigate achieving an inverted 1-bit behavior:
- document how this can be already be achieved if the terminal itself has inverted colors (often a terminal setting)
- (possibly as a follow-up) implement a specific setting for 1-bit color depth with an alternate inverted behavior
This is likely a good first issue at this point, but please discuss on the zulip-terminal stream on chat.zulip.org first.
