Light theme issue about chatblade HOT 5 CLOSED

I think this is fixable by adding a paramer to pass a theme to the underlying markdown parser (rich). Will take a look in the coming days

Hi @ldelossa

Latest version v0.3.0 from main or via pip has the change. homebrew is pending.

You can set the theme via --theme or as an env variable CHATBLADE_THEME. The available styles are here: https://pygments.org/styles/

e.g.

Do note that you will only get full syntax highlighting like in the example if chatgpt provides a type hint for the language being used. You can check this with -r to get the raw response.

e.g.

In this case you can see that it indicates it is python at the start of the code block. GPT-4 is really good at this, but gpt 3.5 often doesn't do this. You can create a prompt that hints it to do this though if you like which works quite well for me.

Theme functionality works for code snippets, but having an issue with readability of inline variable names that have black background when using a "high contrast" variation of default Konsole "Black on White" theme which ends up using #2a8080 hex colour for the inline variable text that is too dark to show up.

High contrast variation (better for outdoors):

Original Konsole theme:

Maybe fixable by applying the same code snippet theme to inline variable names, or if background wasn't getting darker than the text.

As a temporary fix, overriding this terminal theme color 7 "intense" variation manually with lighter color.

Using package chatblade 0.3.1, installed using Python 3.11.2 with pipx.

Also, noting that when using streaming mode with -s it seems to use different theme during streaming than what is used after completing full request. As this initial theme looks totally fine as is, could it be used after completion too? Does it have use pygments theme that could be used with --theme flag?
