What happened

Colorscheme resets when switching account.

How do you reproduce this bug

Add an additional cordless account and switch to it with account switch <name>. This also happens when the user triggers account logout.

I'm not sure if this is a problem with cordless or my terminal emulator (termite). I noticed it while fixing an unrelated issue and verified, that it also exists in the upstream version.

Is this issue still relevant? I can't reproduce this, I use termite as well.

I was able to reproduce this:

account add tmp tmp
account switch tmp

Prior to the switch cordless used my default terminal colors, afterwards it swapped to the same black/white look as shown in the second screenshot of the issue description.

While I was able to reproduce this, I've now tried figuring this out a couple of times and I couldn't manage. Do you perhaps have an idea why this happens?

[Bios-Marcel]

Actually, I might've come a step farther. It seems that initially the colors are translated to your terminals color palete, however the second time a terminal screen is created, it uses the colors as is. In my case for example, PrimitiveBackgroundColor is 0 in both situations (black), but is initially interpreted as a gray tone.

This appears to be a tcell bug, I've created an issue over there: gdamore/tcell#397
