Color and colorshemes override not working - gnome terminal - shell

[november781]

Using gnome terminal, I have gotten powerline running, I can switch themes and between default colorschemes using ~/.config/powerline/config.json.

I would like to change the colors but any time I make changes to the colors in ~/.config/powerline/colorschemes/shell/default.json they aren't reflected upon replacing the daemon.

Using a colorscheme file named something other than the 3 default shell themes results in my bashrc never loading

fedora38 workstation attached are my current terminal showing the colors that are being applied and my current selections for colors which I think are completely different from what are being shown.

Hi @november781,

Thanks for your report.

Some more things that you can check:

• Is the color "darkorange" defined?
• Does powerline-lint produce some errors?

"darkorange" is defined, it's one of the default colors in colors.json with a value of 94
powerline-lint does not show errors

I have an update on powerline-lint I managed to get it to spit some errors by changing the name of default.json to default_test.json in my ~/.config/powerline/coloschemes/shell/ folder. I've attached the error message. I changed nothing from the previous test other than changing that one file. When the override file is named default.json or missing these errors don't show

note: I'm still telling powerline to use defualt.json in my config file and it loads fine when replacing the daemon since its using the default.json shipped in the ect/ folder as expected.
