Description

The reversed text ANSI escape sequence does not work.
The text is not shown, and only the background shows up as solid color.
The blinking text does not work as well, it is shown as normal text.
The low intensity text I'm not sure about, seems very like normal text, even in terminal

FIX #183 : Adjusted default colors to put white characters instead of transparent in some circumstances (which was useless). ANSI codes hadling seem pretty fair to me now

Tested with 11F, it looks fine.
Yes, blinking is not handled, and I don't think it will, and reverse is handled correctly :
Normally, you write black text on transparent background.
Reverse that and you write transparent characters on black background :-) Just set background color before that.

I leave the ticket open to implement a better behavior for this (default to white characters instead of transparent)

Well, I wasn't really after blinking text, but I just thought of to point that out as well, just for the sake of completeness.
However, for me reversed text does not work as described. I just tested it again (on Leopard, for now) and I obtain the effect shown in the attached image (Immagine 1).
I set the Geeklet to use black text and transparent background, as you state.
I also tried with white text on black solid background, and the result is show in Immagine 2.
I have not a Snow Leopard box at hand right now, but I will try the same setup as soon as possible

I tried with Snow Leopard as well, and the results are similar, as can be seen in the screenshots.

That's not what I ment, I ment that transparent background is quite natural for the window, but when it comes to characters color, it becomes tricky

I also tried with white text on black solid background, and the result is show in Immagine 2.

I was talking about ANSI sequences, if I'm right, and you specifically set black background and white character ANSI sequences, then you reverse, so it should be OK

But looking at your second screenshot, I see that anyways, something is going wrong, I'll take a look at this.
