TL;DR

Adding a command-line interface (CLI) option to set the color on startup is likely the most straightforward fix.

Guidance

  • Review the existing codebase for any existing CLI option handling to determine the best way to integrate the new --color option.
  • Consider using a library or framework that supports CLI options, if not already in use, to simplify the implementation.
  • Evaluate how the selected color will be applied and persisted across sessions, potentially involving configuration files or environment variables.
  • Test the new option with various color values to ensure compatibility and expected behavior.

Example

No specific code example can be provided without knowing the programming language or existing code structure, but a typical approach might involve using a CLI parsing library to define and handle the --color option.

Notes

The feasibility and specifics of implementing this feature depend on the underlying technology stack and application architecture, which are not detailed in the issue.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Since the issue seems to be a feature request rather than a bug fix, implementing the --color CLI option as described would be the direct approach to achieve the desired functionality.
