With a minimum contrast set, the colored glyphs that Powerline uses
would sometimes be set to white or black while the surrounding background
colors remain unchanged, breaking up contiguous colors on segments of
the Powerline.
This no longer happens with this patch as Powerline glyphs are now
special-cased and exempt from the minimum contrast adjustment.
There are scenarios where this configuration looks bad. This commit
introduces some heuristics to prevent it. Here are the heuristics:
* Extension is always enabled on alt screen.
* Extension is disabled if a row contains any default bg color. The
thinking is that in this scenario, using the default bg color looks
just fine.
* Extension is disabled if a row is marked as a prompt (using semantic
prompt sequences). The thinking here is that prompts often contain
perfect fit glyphs such as Powerline glyphs and those look bad when
extended.
This introduces some CPU cost to the extension feature but it should be
minimal and respects dirty tracking. This is unfortunate but the feature
makes many terminal scenarios look much better and the performance cost
is minimal so I believe it is worth it.
Further heuristics are likely warranted but this should be a good
starting set.
This will allow for unlimited glyphs per row, eliminating the issue run in to with multi-substitution glyphs and combining characters which can result in more glyphs in a row than there are columns.
Previous version prevented multiple glyphs from belonging to the same coordinate, which broke quite a few things. This implementation fixes that (and may be more efficient too). Needs clean-up.
Fixes#1037
Renderers must convert the internal Kitty graphics state to a GPU
texture for rendering. For performance reasons, renderers cache the GPU
state by image ID. Unfortunately, this meant that if an image was
replaced with the same ID and was already cached, it would never be
updated on the GPU.
This PR adds the transmission time to the cache. If the transmission
time differs, we assume the image changed and replace the image.
This uses WCAG2 algorithms with a minimum ratio hardcoded of 3:1. This
is not shippable in its current state because we want the ratio to be
configurable and I'm not happy with the way data is being sent to the
shader.
