colors: Konsole not supported?

[3k2]

Hi

When I'm using konsole as terminal then use wal to change colors it doesn't appear to change all the colors as it should?

I've used to wal to change blue/whie coloring
Then it should change to dark/dark violet coloring but leaves some areas still blue/white

does this just mean that Konsole terminal is not supported or am I doing something wrong?

I just tested in konsole and can confirm that the escape sequences don't work. Only the background color is changed when I use wal.

I'll do some digging and see if there's an alternative sequence or a reason for it not working.

This link implies that konsole only supports setting the background and foreground colors using escape sequences. It's from 2009 so we can't be sure that the info is still correct.

...For the whole display, Konsole supports the control sequences for
changing the 'text foreground color' and 'text background color'...

Edit: I can't seem to find anything else online. The fact that it doesn't work makes me think it isn't supported altogether. I'll look into getting wal to generate konsole colorscheme files directly. This way you can load the colors as a regular scheme.

wal now generates a Konsole colorscheme in the cache directory (~/.cache/wal/colors-konsole.colorscheme). This file can be imported into Konsole to apply the colorscheme. This unfortunately can't be done automatically by wal but it's better than nothing.

I tried symlinking the file to Konsole's theme directory but from my findings Konsole doesn't reload the colorscheme until you reopen it so that won't work.

I'll also add something to the README noting that Konsole doesn't work with wal.

I've just made the switch to Konsole myself, and in the theme script I've written, copying the colorscheme to either of Konsole's theme directories (not sure which one is the silver bullet) does the trick. This might be because i3 is refreshed, but I'm not sure. Konsole seems like a formidable choice for a terminal now that this is possible.

Are you able to write a little something explaining this in the wiki entry for Konsole? It'll get lost here in the closed issue.

Alright, I'll add that in sometime today. On 29 Aug 2017 12:01, Dylan Araps <notifications@github.com> wrote:Are you able to write a little something explaining this in the wiki entry for Konsole?

I have added a few lines of text in the documentation on how to link the colorscheme into the Konsole folders. (BTW, I am not the author of the patch)
