Yes, we don't expose these colours in the Web configuration yet. They get set to colours that work well in black terminals, but not in light terminals, by the setup routines in `__fish_config_interactive`. Most of us using fish from pre-2.4.0 will have the old colours set, which work well in all terminals. You can control these colours by editing the fish_pager_color variables. Mine are set to: set -U fish_pager_color_completion normal set -U fish_pager_color_description '555' 'yellow' set -U fish_pager_color_prefix cyan set -U fish_pager_color_progress cyan That works well on dark terminals, and OK on light terminals. I use both (because I like to make life difficult). I've opened an issue to remind us to make our "defaults" a bit saner: https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/3893 David Adam fish committer zanc...@ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Fish-users mailing list Fish-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fish-users
