A mini demo translated from xterm.js

This is a feature implemented in iterm2 many years ago.

The idea is simple,

  • Keep the background unchanged,
  • increase the illuminance/brightness of the foreground if the contrast is too low

So that the contrast between text and background is always higher than the desired level.

Hi - for what it’s worth, this idea has been submitted as a feature request in the KDE Bugtracking System: 451109 – [Accessibility] Minimum contrast ratio

This looks like something that will just require someone with the time, ability and interest to jump in and figure out how to implement :slight_smile:
