04:28 <helmut> in daily foot usage, I am running into another issue. \e[40m is supposed to set the background color to black. it starts up as black due to colors.black=000000. once issuing that escape sequence, the background color becomes a dark gray (what looks like foot's default). can I somehow make black black?

04:44 <dnkl> helmut: colors.black is not a valid config option in foot

05:16 <helmut> dnkl: typo. my config actually has [colors] background=000000

05:26 <helmut> foot -c /dev/null -o 'colors.background=000000' -H printf '\e[40m_____\n' # should reproduce it. what I see is that the background for the underscores is dark grey while I'd expect it to be black

05:33 <dnkl> \[40m doesn't use colors.background, it uses colors.regular0

05:34 <helmut> oh. that's due to my dim workaround!

05:35 <helmut> I set regular0=333333 as that would make "bold black" visible

05:37 <helmut> and that workaround is no longer needed since not using a pixel font for some reason

05:38 <helmut> it's wicked how these settings all interact so crazily

05:48 <dnkl> helmut: the only way a pixel font would affect any of the colors, is if it's a color bitmap font. Typically, only emoji fonts are. But perhaps there are exceptions to that

05:57 <krobelus> helmut: maybe you want RGB colors instead of palette ones: printf '\e[48;2;0;0;0m%s\e[49m' black-background
