Description
When using herdr-plus with a light terminal theme, some text elements become almost invisible due to insufficient contrast between the foreground color and the terminal background.
I am using Ghostty with the "iTerm2 Tango Light" theme. Some parts of the herdr-plus UI appear to use colors that are optimized for a dark background, which makes them difficult to read in a light terminal environment.
Steps to reproduce
- Configure Ghostty with the "iTerm2 Tango Light" color theme.
- Run herdr with herdr-plus enabled.
- Open a herdr-plus UI screen (such as Projects or Quick Actions).
- Notice that some text elements have very low contrast against the light background.
Expected behavior
herdr-plus should render readable text regardless of whether the terminal uses a light or dark color scheme.
Possible solutions could be:
- Detecting the terminal background mode (light/dark) and adjusting colors accordingly.
- Using terminal default foreground/background colors where appropriate.
- Providing a dedicated light theme or configurable color settings.
Actual behavior
Some text colors appear to assume a dark terminal background, causing text to become difficult or impossible to read when using a light terminal theme.
Environment
- OS: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
- Terminal emulator: Ghostty
- Terminal color theme: iTerm2 Tango Light
- herdr version: 0.7.3
- herdr-plus: latest stable version
Additional context
The issue seems to be related to color selection or theme handling in the herdr-plus UI.
Thanks for the great work on herdr-plus!
