white text on white background in terminal

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Mykola mentioned that you can also script ChiSurf, which is a really powerfull feature.
The commands can be deduced from the input in the terminal window. However the text on the terminal window is white on a white background. i.e. not readable unless selected.

Describe the solution you'd like
Make either the text or the background black,.

Describe alternatives you've considered

In the new release this issue is already solved. I suppose, that you use an older release.

This is an issue associated with conflict of the used theme. You can either change the theme in the configuration file located in

C:\Program Files (x86)\ChiSurf_170324\mfm\settings\chisurf.json

from to a dark theme by adjusting style from "day" to "night" by changing
which cascading style sheet is used.

    "gui": {
        "style_sheet": "settings/style_sheet_day.css",

modify to

    "gui": {
        "style_sheet": "settings/style_sheet_night.css",

Alternatively, you modify the file

C:\Program Files (x86)\ChiSurf_170324\mfm_gui.py

and remove the use of style sheets.

For that modify

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
    app.setStyleSheet(mfm.style_sheet)

and comment the line where the style sheet is applied.

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
    # app.setStyleSheet(mfm.style_sheet)

I'd like to return to this issue now since we discussed it in December.

Currently Chisurf version 17.03.24 shows no command line. How can I unhide the command line?

I tried downloading the 19 version. but hit a dead link on github.

Thanks for your time!

You can change the change in the settings file the CSS style sheet from 'day' (background problem to 'night' as a temporal fix (see https://github.com/Fluorescence-Tools/chisurf/wiki/Settings-file-in-17.03.24). See GUI section.

I found the show_console bool as is written on the wiki. With setting that to true, the console appears in a legible manner.
"show_console": true,
The current theme is 'night' and Chisurf displays the console correctly with that.

Thanks!
