Symbolic link arrow to deleted directory does not use standard background color

[ccady]

When exa displays a symbolic link to a deleted directory, the arrow color is red, but the background color is black, disregarding the user's shell colors. I presume the user would want the background of the arrow to be the default shell background color.

Screenshot attached.

This doesn't happen for me when I try it:

Can you run exa -v and tell me what version you're running?

[ccady]

Version 0.9.0, the one packaged in Debian testing. The screenshot shows all steps of my simple test.

Do you still have this problem?

Do you still have this problem?

Version 0.9.0 has this same problem. It is not simple for me to test a newer version, as I am running the version packaged with Debian testing (10, at this point).

Well, do you have a LS_COLORS or EXA_COLORS configured, and if yes could you put it here? The arrow can be colored with the xx (punctuation) code, it could be your problem.

[ccady]

Very interesting. I have never done anything with these environment variables, yet the LS_COLORS seems to be set by something:

[ariasuni]

Does using LS_COLORS="" exa -l fix your problem?

If not, could you paste your LS_COLORS? Screenshots are great to demonstrate color issues, but I can’t make a text search or try an environment variable from a screenshot.

[ccady]

That was it. I apologize for not knowing about LS_COLORS. Thank you! Looks like Debian's default .bashrc sets this. https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/544070/who-is-setting-my-ls-colors
