I cant be the only person who wants all of my terminal applications to use same color scheme. It frustrates me that almost all terminal apps seem to set their colors with no respect to the 16 I chose for my terminal palette. I understand that more than 16 colors are sometimes useful, but additional colors could easily be generated by interpolation. why isn’t this the default behaviour for more (or any) applications?
Many terminal programs have a theme named base16 which is intended to work with that system, and sometimes there’s a transparent theme that just uses the terminal color codes.
I do agree though that more things should default to using the terminal colors and allow overrides. Even better would be extended color codes, editors in particular seem to run into limitations with just 16 colors often.
