Code Example

runtime_footer:
  enabled: false
  fields:
  - model
  - context_pct
  - cwd
RAW_BUFFERClick to expand / collapse

Environment:

  • Hermes Agent v0.14.0
  • macOS 13.7 + iTerm2
  • DeepSeek V4 Pro

Problem: The runtime_footer bar at the bottom of the TUI displays model name, token usage (e.g. 279K/1M 27%), and a live timer — all rendered in dark text on a near-black background. The contrast is so low the information is practically unreadable.

Even switching the terminal emulator to a light theme does not help — the footer bar background remains black regardless of terminal color presets.

Expected behavior:

  • Timer digits and key info should be rendered in high-contrast (e.g. white #FFFFFF) on the dark footer
  • Or provide a config option for customizing runtime_footer text colors
  • Alternatively, respect the terminal color scheme for the footer area

Config:

runtime_footer:
  enabled: false
  fields:
  - model
  - context_pct
  - cwd

Thank you!
