[x] Shell: Fish
[ ] Custom desktop opener (if applicable):

Exact steps to reproduce the issue

Run nnn v3.4 on alacritty, colors will not match the terminal colors.

Run with env TERM=xterm nnn and colors will be back to normal.

Noticed this issue after upgrading nnn today.

nnn v3.4 has support for file-specific colors which work fine on several terminal emulators. If this is specific to alacritty, I am not sure if we will be able to help you. Probably contact the alacritty team and if there's any generic change that's required in nnn, we'll fix that.

The other option for you would be to fallback to the older colorscheme using option -C.

Thanks for pointing out the -C option, will be using that from now on.

No problem!

Just want to point out, I use the base16-shell scripts to set my shells ANSI colors so I also use the -C flag now to make sure that works. Thanks for including the -C flag

Just for the record, I don't see any such issues with the newer colorscheme. in Alacritty

TERM=xterm-256color
export NNN_COLORS='#2e27d0e2;2341'
nnn -cdDEFnQrux $@
