Hi guys,
I was just trying out `msgcat --color=test` on the terminal I am developing since quite some years (Contour). I first realized that the hue/saturation section looks quite odd. I checked out your gettext source code and figured out that I need to bump up the `colors` terminfo entry from 256 to 32767. All good, but I also need to pretend to be something that begins with "xterm" or ends with "-256color". I think BOTH is wrong, so I'd prefer the whole `if`-statement in
libtextstyle/gnulib-local/lib/term-ostream.oo.c around line 2676
to not hard-code these but think more open. Of course, I could now ask you to add "contour" TERM env var to your list. But maybe we can achieve something more open, because there are plenty of other new terminal emulators rising in past years as well (Ghostty, WezTerm, foot, ...).
I suggest just checking for the `colors` terminfo itself to determine how many colors are supported. Would that be possible? Or do you see any other solution here?
p.s.: I am not subscribed to this list. I still hope this message will arrive to you and I will be able to get your replies in my inbox.
Best regards,
Christian Parpart.
