Bug Description

When using Hermes Agent in a terminal with a light background during the day, the default theme font is difficult to read (as shown in the attachment). It appears that the new TUI (Terminal User Interface) update changed the styling. Please adjust the default font colors for the original CLI interface to ensure better visibility. <img width="590" height="377" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/190e0bba-737c-40f6-94bb-2ece57fdadad" />

TL;DR

Adjust the default font colors in the Hermes Agent's Terminal User Interface to improve visibility on light backgrounds.

Guidance

  • Review the TUI update changes to identify the specific styling modifications that caused the font color issue.
  • Check the hermes command's configuration options to see if there are any built-in settings for customizing font colors.
  • Inspect the provided debug reports (e.g., agent.log, gateway.log) for any relevant error messages or clues about the styling issue.
  • Consider testing the hermes command with different terminal themes or background colors to isolate the problem.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue does not contain sufficient technical details about the implementation.

Notes

The proposed fix may require modifications to the Hermes Agent's source code or configuration files, which are not provided in the issue.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Adjust the terminal theme or background color to improve visibility until a permanent fix is implemented, as the issue is specific to light backgrounds and the default font colors.
