The REPL’s package mode prompt is too dark, and I want to change it. I’ve found the REPL documentation , and it shows how to set variables using startup.jl, and I now have a few questions that go beyond changing the prompt color. What is the variable name for the package prompt? The name probably …

Thanks again for all of your earlier comments and suggestion. I found a solution this morning that works well and was easy to install: Windows Terminal . Windows Terminal is a new, modern, feature-rich, productive terminal application for command-line users. It includes many of the features most f…

Thanks oheil. I saw that last night, and I rescanned its documentation just now. While I can imagine I might be able to use this, and I don’t get the feeling it deals with the package mode prompt, I don’t want to get bogged down making a new theme right now.

Thank you again oheil. I’m looking forward to repeating your example when I finish my work day. That’s exactly the kind of thing I want to try in the REPL. [image] oheil: so do you want me to tell you how to change the pkg prompt or do you want me to help you finding out on your own? (Currentl…

[image] matw: The REPL’s package mode prompt is too dark, and I want to change it. I once proposed changing the default palette, but the issue was closed. There isn’t strictly any default palette, or at least it differs by terminal. In my Linux Mint the background was grey and I don’t underst…

[image] Palli: Are you on Windows and what terminal do you use? Windows and PowerShell (for now). I can’t cut and paste into my Julia session (grr) ; PowerShell and I may have a short relationship. Fortunately oheil’s printf example was short enough to type. [image] Palli: …, why would a…

[image] matw: The REPL’s package mode prompt is too dark, and I want to change it. This was the subject of an issue in 2019 - BLue colour on black bacground - almost invisible · Issue #788 · JuliaLang/Pkg.jl · GitHub - As yet, no-one has volunteered to make a PR. Perhaps Pkg mode could be add…

[image] cormullion: To be honest, it would be easier to redefine the terminal’s idea of “blue” Yes, changing the terminal’s idea of “blue” is easier, but Microsoft chose to be incompatible. They still don’t provide this ability in PowerShell. PowerShell’s “experimental terminal settings” link…
