Support for positive-contrast terminals.

[TheChymera]

There is some color customization available in ticker, but neither of the options permit changing the colors of highlighted price change numbers (from red to green). This makes these numbers indistinguishable from a light terminal background.

I tried setting all the colors to extreme values which I can easily identify:

  text: "#ff00ff"
  text-light: "#ff0000"
  text-label: "#00ff00"
  text-line: "#0000ff"
  text-tag: "#00ffff"
  background-tag: "#ffff00"

And none of these seem to affect the bottom numbers in the last two columns

Additionally, looking at the code, these seem to be indeed the only modifiable colours →

ticker/internal/common/common.go

Line 37 in 8d3d327

type ConfigColorScheme struct {

Am I missing something?

If not I'd be willing to try and add support for this, could you point me to where the colors for the red-to-green values are displayed?

Thanks for flagging this gap with light color terminals. You're right that this is something that is not currently configurable.

The logic to determine color is here. PRs are welcome :)

Configuration for positive, neutral, negative colors would be super cool 🙏

I faced the same issue. I just did a bit of experimentation here.

The idea is to have configurable gradients for light and dark themes and make it automatically switch between light and dark mode dynamically without having to restart the application.
