03:27 <arahael> Hey, been using foot for a short while, however, one thing I need is the ability to have a 'contrast' setting. Is it possible to have foot ensure that the foreground and background colours for a character always has a certain amount of contrast?

08:57 <manio> arahael_: isn't it a color-theme thing?

09:30 <arahael_> manio: No, because lets suppose we have black foreground text. But the background is also black, then I can't see it.

09:30 <arahael_> Basically it doesn't matter what colour scheme you pick, some colours out of a 256-colour pallette will not be visible.

09:31 <manio> I agree, but what foot has to do with it

09:32 <manio> It only read the color scheme and apply it

09:32 <manio> Does some other terminal has this functionality?

09:34 <arahael_> Yeah, iTerm2 does this.

09:35 <arahael_> Readability -> Do you lose your cursor when there are lots of different colors or have programs display hard-to-read color combinations? With the Smart Cursor Color and Minimum Contrast features, you can ensure that these problems are gone for good.

09:36 <manio> ah... so this is probably some more sophisticated algorithm for this

09:37 <manio> I think dnkl should express his opinion...

09:37 <arahael_> Yep, indeed.
