From: Ingo Molnar <[email protected]> Boris reported that 'perf top' is unusable on his default 'black on white' terminal, which uses (eye friendly) light-grey as a background color.
The reason is that the TUI cursor for the current selection line uses HE_COLORSET_SELECTED, and that has a default background color of 'lightgrey' - which is a common terminal background choice and thus the colors conflict. Use yellow as the background color instead: that should be an uncommon terminal background, yet it's still ergonomic on both black and white/grey terminals. [ It would be a better solution to straight out detect color collisions and resolve them reasonably by converting them to RGB and calculating color space distances, but I was unable to find proper documentation for SLtt_get_color_object() to recover the current color scheme so I gave up ... Yellow works well enough. ] Reported-and-Tested-by: Borislav Petkov <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <[email protected]> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <[email protected]> Cc: David Binderman <[email protected]> Cc: Jiri Olsa <[email protected]> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <[email protected]> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/[email protected] Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <[email protected]> --- tools/perf/ui/browser.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/tools/perf/ui/browser.c b/tools/perf/ui/browser.c index e9703c0829f1..d37202121689 100644 --- a/tools/perf/ui/browser.c +++ b/tools/perf/ui/browser.c @@ -528,7 +528,7 @@ static struct ui_browser_colorset { .colorset = HE_COLORSET_SELECTED, .name = "selected", .fg = "black", - .bg = "lightgray", + .bg = "yellow", }, { .colorset = HE_COLORSET_CODE, -- 2.1.0 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
