# CLI Color Scheme

 * I am running the WP CLI via my Local by FlyWheel development environment. The
   DecaLog CLI help under “Colors scheme” provides two flags: –soft and –no-color.
   I have a couple of questions:
    1. Can you please provide the full command for changing the color scheme?
    2. The default blue-ish/purple-ish color is a bit tough on the eyes against the
       default black background of the CLI screen. Would you consider allowing an end
       user to store a collection of color scheme ‘presets’, where one can store combinations
       of foreground and background colors for textual CLI display?
 * Thank you

 * Hello [@aspsa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aspsa/) !
 * 1: thank you for bringing this matter to my attention, there’s a bug in the synopsis
   that doesn’t allow to use flag for the `tail` command. Normally, this should 
   be usable in a “classical” way (`wp log tail --soft` or `wp log tail --no-color`)
   but this is not the case with the current version. This will be fixed in 2.4.1(
   released planed before 3/3/21).
    2: I have no plan to add a way to do that. But
   this can be done in 2 ways: – I can add new presets if you have something specific
   to send me. Give me colors you want (selected in [these ones](https://make.wordpress.org/cli/handbook/references/internal-api/wp-cli-colorize/))
   and I will create a “aspsa” theme 😉 – Submit a PR on the [DecaLog repo](https://github.com/Pierre-Lannoy/wp-decalog)…
 * Don’t hesitate to ask if you have any question for the second point.

 * Note if you want to submit a PR, I’ve simplified the way colors are handled.

 * Thanks for the feedback. I updated to v2.4.2, but the fix you mentioned does 
   not seem to function. Please advise how I can now disable the default color in
   the plugin’s CLI. Thank you.

 * Hello [@aspsa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aspsa/) !
    What command do
   you type? As stated below, to simplify the way users can submit PRs, the flag
   is changed. It’s now `--theme=soft`. Do you confirm it’s not working for you?
