Color Issues ❗

In good conditions, the app should use 24-bit colors which looks like this:

Normal colors

However, it is possible that when you open the app, the colors are not displaying correctly. In this case, it can look something like this if only 4-bits ANSI colors are used:

Color issue 1

It can also look like this if only 8-bits ANSI colors are used :

Color issue 2

If the colors are not displaying correctly, ensure that your terminal supports 24-bit colors (truecolor). You can verify this by copying and pasting the following command into your terminal:

bash
curl -sLo- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SkwalExe/fractalistic/main/test-truecolor.sh | bash

Please note that running curl ... | bash commands can be dangerous and is generally considered a bad practice unless you are certain that the script originates from a trustworthy source.

You should see smooth output similar to the screenshot below. If not, consider updating your terminal or switching to a more modern terminal that supports 24-bit colors.

Preview

If your terminal supports 24-bit colors but the colors are still not displaying correctly, you might need to set the following environment variable when running the app:

bash
COLORTERM=truecolor fractalistic

Additionally, consider adding this to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc to make the change permanent:

bash
export COLORTERM=truecolor
