Funny timing, I moved to Ghostty this week and just today I ran into OOM crashes in Ghostty while developing a terminal UI app. Coincidentally this TUI has a tab bar that looks like this, where UTF8 icons are used for recognizability and activity indicators (using © and € as placeholders here): 1|Flakes © 2|Installed © 3|Store © € 4|Security © € ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── This work…
Why would I move to GhosTTY versus the terminal emulator that comes with my OS as it's not clear to me from the documentation?
I moved because Ghostty feels just like the native terminal but allows me to set the color scheme. I have it set to match the vscode Monokai theme.
No, macos Terminal will not let you use whatever colors you like. It will helpfully adjust the colors you select to increase contrast. And it can't be disabled. It bugged me for years.
