My laptop screen is kinda broken and the bottom pixels are lightly duplicated all over the screen. It is still usable with light mode. I want a disable color in my terminal to improve contrast. How do I make my terminal just black and white. No other color. I'm using suckless term and gruvbox colorscheme rn.
Welcome to the club. Several fronts to work on:
1.
This disables colors in some cooperating applications.
2.
export TERM=ansi
This disables a lot of fancy terminal thingies in many more applications (ncurses and friends), and is in line with what I imagine to be the suckless aesthetic.
3.
Manually go and set up your terminal color scheme to use only 2 colors

Thanks a lot anon
I did the third approach
Heres the config for anyone who wants to do the same
static const char *colorname[] = {
[0] = "#ffffff", /* hard contrast: #f9f5d7 / soft contrast: #f2e5bc */
[1] = "#000000", /* red */
[2] = "#000000", /* green */
[3] = "#000000", /* yellow */
[4] = "#000000", /* blue */
[5] = "#000000", /* magenta */
[6] = "#000000", /* cyan */
[7] = "#000000", /* white */
[8] = "#000000", /* black */
[9] = "#000000", /* red */
[10] = "#000000", /* green */
[11] = "#000000", /* yellow */
[12] = "#000000", /* blue */
[13] = "#000000", /* magenta */
[14] = "#000000", /* cyan */
[15] = "#000000", /* white */
};
unsigned int defaultfg = 15;
unsigned int defaultbg = 0;
unsigned int defaultcs = 15;
static unsigned int defaultrcs = 257;>>2
I've come to use TERM=dumb as an even more radical alternative to TERM=ansi.

This is pretty comfy
