htop and cava comparison on konsole (left) and xfce4-terminal (right)

htop: https://github.com/hishamhm/htop
cava: https://github.com/karlstav/cava

When compared to other terminal emulators (e.g. xfce4-terminal and terminator), programs like htop and cava behave too different, color-wise. See the pictures I attached, comparing cava and htop unning on Konsole and xfce4-terminal. I'm using the same font and color scheme on both of them:

Font: Hack (Knack), size 11 [1]
Color scheme: Base16-Dracula (Konsole [2]), (Xfce4-Terminal [3])

According to cava's developer: "konsole doesn't support chaining the color definitions" [4]

Thanks in advance.

The "bold" fonts part of this bug report is most likely a duplicate of bug 378523.
Comment 2 Justin Zobel 2020-11-03 01:55:42 UTC
Can you please confirm if this is still an issue on recent builds of konsole?
