Themes with good accessibility/contrast

Open oscarvarto opened this issue 4 months ago • 1 comments

Hi!

Thanks for this awesome CLI tool! Is it possible to add some themes with good contrast to be easy to read the information? I have adopted catppuccin themes (latte for light, mocha for dark), but have found difficult to find a good setting for the highlight-color that has good contrast for a light theme. I chose #8839ef (mauve), and now it looks like:

So, some portions of text look OK, but others are hard to read. Can we have themes with good accessibility?

I think the problem is that currently lazyjj does not set a background color, it simply assumes it is black. Therefore a bright background will give bad contrast.

I initially had difficulty reading what is on screen, because jj also applies colouring and my terminal colours apparently does not give good contrast with those chosen. I had to test a few colour schemes until I found one that was resonable.

It would be nice though, to always set foreground and background colour - and have a full contrast test of all text, using WCAG
