Difficult to use with light background

[unixfile]

Much of the text in the UI is close to unreadable with a light background.

Tested with:
xterm -bg lemonchiffon
gnome-terminal (with default settings)

Otherwise it's great on black background.

Cheers!

Agreed, it does not look too good on a white background. I think the main issue is that I'm forcing the text to be white in some places when what I really mean is that I want the text to be the default foreground color. I've gone and fixed up a heap of those places, and testing on my end the UI is fairly readable now.

Here's the release with the changes: https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazydocker/releases/tag/v0.2.3

Let me know what you think :)

@gabel For the border issue,
You can change the border color in the config: lazydocker > Status > "o"

You could do something like this:

gui:
  theme:
    inactiveBorderColor:
    - black

@mjarkk Thank you that helped! It solves border color and tab font color issues. Might be useful to have something like the invert mode that ctop has.

When opening the menu the issue still exists

BTW

Status > o gave me

But just editing with vim worked.

vim /Users/foobar/Library/Application\ Support/jesseduffield/lazydocker/config.yml

Regarding file open issue... intellij did not bind yml files to open. Installing an editor who does (e.g. VS Code) enabled the o variant as well. 👍

I've updated the default config to use the default color on border frames too, so others won't need to update their config for this :)

Thanks, looks great now!
