Help
Q: Why am i seeing weird characters like
[31;1mr[0min the console?
A: This project uses
ANSI-Escape Codesto display colors in the Terminal. If you see these weird characters, then your Terminal does not support these Codes.
⚠️If you are using the Conhost Command Prompt on Windows you can most likely solve this issue by going in the Registry under
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Consoleand adding/editing theDWORDvalueVirtualTerminalLeveland setting it to1.
Q: Why are some characters partially white even though i specified a color?
A: This is a Bug inside the Terminal you are using. You can fix the issue by disabling all dimmed and italic characters using
-d 0 -i 0
