Monoterm

Monoterm converts all terminal colors to monochrome.

A screenshot of a terminal with a line separating the image into two parts. The left side includes many colors, while the right side is entirely black and white.

Why?

I initially developed Monoterm to use with my e-ink display. Since it converts everything to grayscale, terminal colors simply make text harder to read. There may be accessibility uses for Monoterm as well.

Installation

Install with Cargo:

cargo install monoterm

Usage

The basic usage is monoterm <command> [args...]. Generally you would use this to invoke your shell; e.g., monoterm bash.

With the --bold option, text that was originally colored will be rendered as bold. See monoterm --help for more information and additional options.
